Deacidification treatment:Prolong the life of archives by neutralizing the acidic substances in paper. For example, when repairing severely damaged acidified archives, chemical methods are used for deacidification to ensure that the pH value of the paper reaches <7.0≤pH≤8.5.
Mounting technology:Use high-performance adhesives and paper-filling materials to repair damaged areas. For example, when repairing important historical archives, use neutral backing paper and weak alkaline adhesives to ensure that the archives are smooth and flat after repair.
Recommendations for the implementation of standards
- Training and dissemination:Organize relevant practitioners to conduct standard training to ensure that the restoration work is carried out in a standardized manner.
- Technical equipment update:Equipped with advanced deacidification equipment and mounting tools to improve the efficiency and quality of restoration.
- Quality monitoring system:Establish a quality inspection mechanism during the restoration process to ensure compliance with standard requirements.
- Archive classification management:Develop a restoration plan based on the degree of damage (see GB/T 42468.1), and give priority to endangered archives.
