parchment restoration

Parchment restoration involves repairing and preserving documents made from animal skin, such as manuscripts and historical records. This process addresses damage from factors like wear, environmental conditions, and pests. Conservators carefully clean, mend tears, and stabilize the parchment using specialized tools and materials that won't harm the original piece. The goal is to maintain the document's historical integrity while making it possible to study and display. Restoration not only protects cultural heritage but also enhances our understanding of history by keeping these valuable records accessible for future generations.
