Synopsis

This new volume provides a comprehensive critical review of the different methods for paper and textile conservation with emphasis on the latest research in the field. Divided into three sections, the chapters of this volume cover conservation and degradation of textiles, characterization and preservation of textiles, and conservation, degradation, and characterization of paper. Of particular interest is an examination of silk fabric degradation through analysis of samples taken from flags in the National Museum of American History.
