Textile Preservation

Textile preservation involves techniques and practices to protect and maintain fabrics, clothing, and woven materials over time. It aims to prevent deterioration caused by environmental factors such as light, humidity, pests, and pollution. Conservation methods include controlling storage conditions, careful cleaning, and repairing damage using specialized skills. The goal is to preserve the textile’s structural integrity, color, and historical or cultural significance for future generations to study and enjoy. Proper textile preservation helps ensure these valuable artifacts remain stable, safe, and accessible over long periods.
