Deacidification, Mounting, and Repair
| For rare works on paper, I recommend using the services of a reputable professional restorer. For less valuable works, if you wish to attempt restoration yourself, try these products: |
| Bookkeeper Spray (8 oz.) | Product I.D.# | 10081 |
| Acid-free Glue Stick: Permanent | Product I.D.# | 7063 |
| Acid-free Glue Stick: Repositionable | Product I.D.# | 7065 |
| PVA Glue (Polyvinyl Acetate): a pH-neutral glue that will not harm paper, PVA is ideal for bookbinding, boxmaking, collages, even hard-to-hold plastics. It's clear and forms a strong, long-lasting bond. |
| PVA Glue (8 oz. squeeze bottle) | Product I.D.# | 3768 |
| Conservation Tape: Double-Sided | Product I.D.# | 10032 |
| Pigment Ink marking pen: 0.05mm black | Product I.D.# | 9302 |
Archival Storage
| Rare-Book Boxes: create your own boxes for rare books and documents with these 20 pt. acid- and lignin-free (important for certain types of photographs) TrueCore Boxboard sheets. Two sheets are needed per box. One sheet must be the same width as the book, and its length 3x the height of the book plus twice its thickness; the other must be the same height as the book, and its width 3x the width of the book plus twice its thickness. For example, "The Sacred Harp" (1991 edition) is 9" x 7" by 1". You need one sheet 29" x 7", the other sheet 23" by 9". The closest size is 9" x 30". One package (6) of 9 x 30 sheets will make enough boxes for three books, and costs less than two pre-fabricated boxes. Use Double-Coated Film Tape #07148 to hold board together. Comes with Hook and Loop Fasteners to provide a resealable closure. Sizes can be combined for quantity discounts. |
| 9" x 30" Boxboard Sheets 6/pkg. | Product I.D.# | 10136 |
| Archival Bags are more economical. Make sure that there is no moisture in the bag. |
| Archival Storage Bags 9-3/8" x 12-1/4" | Product I.D.# | 5241 |
| Archival Ziplock Bags 9" x 12" | Product I.D.# | 9557 |
