Surface
Cleaning |
|
| Treatments range from basic stabilization
to comprehensive procedures. Once evaluated, soil is removed from
the surface of originals by dusting the surface with eraser crumb
and gently rolling the crumb across the paper surface of the paper
artifact. |

Washing |
|
| Extensive treatments may be required
including washing, tape removal, stain reduction or lining for support.
Acidic paper is supported on a polyester web and washed in a bath
of deionized water amended with calcium carbonate to impart a buffer. |

Washed drawings are blotted and air dried. Moveable tables in the lab help insure the wet paper is transported as little as possible. |
