Dale duff CONTRIBUTORS 197 INDEX 203 A .Introduction' One of the chief concerns in library administration andoperations for the 1980s is the conservation andpreservation of library materials, an area, which fortoo long, has been neglected.Faced with rapid deterioration of collections from the ravages of time plusincreased widespread use and transportation of materialsthrOughnetworking operations coupled with the rising cost of materials, suppliesand staff and other Problems asso- dated with inflation, librariani andarchivists are finding.it increasingly difficult to preserve their collections. A dozen year ve passed since alandmark conference at the'Univer" sity of Ch'cag. Graduate LibrarySchool brought to 'the profession's attention thserious problems of deterioration andopened up for the decad the seventies many solutions which arebowbeing implemen ted. ParleInstitute, the fac lty of In oosing the topic for the annual Allerton e Graduate 601 of Library and Information Science at the Uversity of Illinois at Ur ana-Champaignthought it appropriate, at th s time, to assess The state-o -the-artandAo help set the objectives for the1980s in conserving and preserving libraryand'araiival materials Specifically the objectives of the conference were to makeit possible for -those in attendance to: note the scope ofpreservation problems; discover the philosophyof preservation and conservation of librarymaterials; learn new methods and techniques in the field;- identify newresearch needs; discover cooperative apprOaches and programs;'receive currentinformation on developments in paper manufacturing, deacidificadon, etc.; gather information on pres- ervation of nonpaper materials such asfilm, recordings, computer records etc.; learn how andwhen to use the services of binders,restoration special- ists and others outside the locallibrary; learn how restoration specialists c 2 Conserving and PreservingLibrary Materials work; and find ways to implement a conservation/preservation policy in a local library, 1, From Noveniber 15 to 18..1981, over one hundred librarians, curators, archivists. conservators, binders. and library Wand information science faculty and students gathered together to a ttenfil to meet theseobjectives through themesiages of speakert, the viewingOlexhibits and demonsstra- tions, and discussion with others. Warning that the 1980s are .khe "best of times, the worst of times" for library conservation and preservation efforts, the keynote speaker, Robert H. Patterson, deems these areas the biggest- challenge of the next two decades for librarians. Since a shortage of trained and educated personnel exists in these areas, librarians must take the responsibility for education about preiervation by designing and implementing their own.programs. Preservation is expensive and, therefore, is a crucial part of library manage- ment requiring critical judgment and cooperative efforts. Such efforis call for high quality information on preservation including information about clearinghouses and regional treatment centers as wellas judicious apprais- al of newly developed commercial products. Urging that almost alllibrar- ies.establishapreseivation committee,Patterson outlines the responsibilities for such committees. Many of Patterson's points are elabo- rated by other speakers. 4( Reiterating a theme broached by Patterson, Pamela W. Darling notes that preservation is not solely the domain of a few persons who are specialists in the field, but is the responSibility of all librarians.

    Conservation of Coated and Specialty Papers

    RELACT HISTORY, TECHNOLOGY, AND TREATMENT OF SPECIALTY PAPERS FOUND IN ARCHIVES, LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS: TRACING AND PIGMENT-COATED PAPERS By Dianne van der Reyden (Revised from the following publications: Pigment-coated papers I & II: history and technology / van der Reyden, Dianne; Mosier, Erika; Baker, Mary , In: Triennial meeting (10th), Washington, DC, 22-27 August 1993: preprints / Paris: ICOM , 1993, and Effects of aging and solvent treatments on some properties of contemporary tracing papers / van der Reyden, Dianne; Hofmann, Christa; Baker, Mary, In: Journal of the American Institute for Conservation, 1993) ABSTRACT Museums, libraries, and archives contain large collections of pigment-coated and tracing papers. These papers are produced by specially formulated compositions and manufacturing procedures that make them particularly vulnerable to damage as well as reactive to solvents used in conservation treatments. In order to evaluate the effects of solvents on such papers, several research projects were designed to consider the variables of paper composition, properties, and aging, as well as type of solvent and technique of solvent application. This paper summarizes findings for materials characterization, degradative effects of aging, and some effects of solvents used for stain reduction, and humidification and flattening, of pigment-coated and modern tracing papers. Pigment-coated papers have been used, virtually since the beginning of papermaking history, for their special properties of gloss and brightness. These properties, however, may render coated papers more susceptible to certain types of damage (surface marring, embedded grime, and stains) and more reactive to certain conservation treatments. Several research projects have been undertaken to characterize paper coating compositions (by SEM/EDS and FTIR) and appearance properties (by SEM imaging of surface structure and quantitative measurements of color and gloss) in order to evaluate changes that might occur following application of solvents used in conservation treatments.

Abstract: Deacidification plays an important role in the conservation of paper-based cultural heritage objects. Herein, a novel approach for the conservation of scale paper-based cultural heritage objects is proposed using a mixture of argon and ethylene oxide (EO-Ar) for the first time. The optimum process conditions for deacidification of ethylene oxide and argon mixture system are determined by orthogonal testing. To evaluate the stabilization effect of paper treated with EO-Ar, the degradation of the mechanical properties (tensile strength, folding endurance and tearing strength tests) of paper after artificial aging was evaluated. The results show that the treated paper had better durability with respect to tensile strength, folding endurance and tearing strength. Additionally, thermal Citation: Qi, Y.; Jia, Z.; Zhou, Y.; stability, crystallinity and fiber wall thickness increased after EO-Ar treated, which was determined Wang, Y.; Zhao, G.; Chao, X.; Xing, H.; by scanning electron microscope (SEM), diffraction of X-rays (XRD), and thermo gravimetric (TG) Li, Y.

REZAYATI-CHARANI** Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Islamic Azad University of Rasht, Gilan, Iran *Caspian Faculty of Engineering, University College of Engineering, University of Tehran, Rezvanshahr, Gilan, Iran **Department of Pulp and Paper Technology, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology, Gorgan University of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Gorgan, Iran Received May 6, 2010 Pulping of wheat straw was studied with an organic solvent (glycerol) and 2% NaOH as a catalyst, and without catalyst, at various cooking times (180, 90, 45 and 30 min), and at reflux temperature (195-205 °C) as cooking temperature, to investigate the properties of the obtained pulp (cooking yield, kappa number, freeness (CSF), fiber length, α-cellulose, γ-cellulose, ash) and paper (breaking length, burst index, fold endurance, tear index). The best properties of the handsheets were obtained with 2% sodium hydroxide in the cooking solvent, at 30 min as cooking time. As a result of using the processing variables over the variation ranges considered, the following optimum values of the dependent variables were obtained: 64.1% (yield), 64 (kappa number), 300 mL CSF (freeness), 11.89 km (breaking length), 60.38 (folding endurance), 9.27 mNm2g-1 (tear index) and 4.60 kNg-1 (burst index) for pulps and handsheets. The results obtained showed that, under the cooking conditions applied, either including the use of a catalyst or not, delignification increased by increasing the cooking time, although the brightness of the handsheets was reduced. These results involved a secondary reaction between the organic solvent glycerol and the micro-fragments of fibers during cooking.

    Nano Meets the Sheet: Adhesive-Free Application of Nanocellulosic

    Völkel et al. Herit Sci (2017) 5:23 DOI 10.1186/s40494-017-0134-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Nano meets the sheet: adhesive‑free application of nanocellulosic suspensions in paper conservation L. Völkel1, K. Ahn2, U. Hähner3, W. Gindl‑Altmutter4 and A. Potthast2* Abstract Historical papers are often locally damaged by exogenous infuences and/or have endogenously degraded paper areas. The stabilization of such papers is very important because further use of the object can cause additional damage. Diferent types of nanocellulose are interesting as a novel stabilizing materials for paper due to their close structural relation to the paper matrix. Therefore, the present study investigated whether the treatment of historical papers with nanocellulose suspensions is a novel method for paper stabilization. Two diferent types of nanocellu‑ loses, bacterial cellulose and a mechanically nanofbrillated cellulose based on wood pulp, were tested with regard to their performance in stabilizing fragile papers. Concerning material handling and application in conservation steps, diferent ways to modify the suspensions were tested. The resulting suspensions were applied to historical papers from several centuries with diferent extents of damage. The paper-nanocellulose composites were characterized with regard to their optical and microscopic integrity and by physical and chemical analyses. The treatment of mechani‑ cal damage and the consolidation of weakened paper areas could be realized by the application of a nanocellulose suspension without an additional adhesive. The results of the treatment depend on the type of nanocellulose, on the paper material, on processing and application techniques. The paper discusses the applicability and stability of the diferently prepared nanocellulose suspensions, also with regard to their mode of application and long-term perfor‑ mance.

Strong papers are important operators both in the traditional paper industry as well as in new fields of application, such as fibre-based packaging and light-weight building material. In this study, two approaches of enhancing paper strength, reinforcement and multilayering, were addressed. In specific, the effects of adding abaca ( Musa Textilis ) as a reinforcement fibre for softwood pulp were investigated. Moreover, a handsheet former for the production of stratified sheets, the LB Multilayer Handsheet Former, was evaluated. The LB Multilayer Handsheet Former was then used to study the effects of placing selected fibres in separate layers, rather than by making homogeneous sheets from a mixture of the pulps. Handsheets of a softwood sulphate pulp with the addition of abaca fibres were made in a conventional sheet former. It was seen that the addition of abaca fibres increased the tearing resistance, fracture toughness, folding endurance and air permeance.
