  • Present State of Advocacy and Education for Library Preservation in Japan
    Date 4th version : 25/07/2006 How did we get here? Present state of Advocacy and Education for Library Preservation in Japan Toru Koizumi Rikkyo University Library Tokyo, JAPAN (former Standing Committee member of Preservation and Conservation Section) Meeting: 96 Preservation and Conservation with Continuing Professional Education and Workplace Learning and the Preservation and Conservation Core Activity Simultaneous Interpretation: Yes WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 72ND IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 20-24 August 2006, Seoul, Korea http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla72/index.htm Abstract: Preservation is the primary mission of the library. Librarians must think of preserving all formats of library resources for future generations. New technology should be developed and informed to librarians. In addition, traditional conservation techniques are to be maintained and known by librarians. I would like to introduce several aspects of preservation and conservation in Japan, such as advocacy of acid-free paper achieved 96% use for publis hed books, the campaign of “preventive conservation” after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake (1995). In addition, universities have increased conservation courses for cultural property since Japan ratified the convention of World Heritage. Library preservation has many aspects from repairing books to binding, microfilming, mass deacidification, digitizing library materials, disaster planning and so on. Librarians should know all countermeasures in an integrated manner in order to select adequate alternatives. 1 1. Conservation Education at Present Preservation and conservation are called "ho-zon" and "ho-go" in Japanese. It literally means "to keep the existence" or "to maintain the present state”. In this article, I use the "preservation" as a comprehensive, positive, and administratively broader word.

  • Preservation and Conservation of Documents; Problems and Solutions
    -32 Barcelona 1997 - Lligall 12 Janus 1998.1 Preservation and conservation of documents; problems and solutions Helen Forde Head of Preservation Services^ PRO y England INTRODUCTION When I was first invited to give this paper I had some misgivings about the title; I am not capable of producing a global solution to an age-old problem. Problems are comparatively easy - solutions are not. Reflection led me to the conclusion that others, more qualified than I, had also failed to devise a total remedy to the challenges presented by the inevitable decay of archival material. That is comforting. Let us be honest and admit that archival materials are not indestructible, and they were never intended to last indefinitely. We do, however, have to satisfy ourselves that the actions we take now will not accelerate decay, and will not cause our successors greater problems than those posed by the original material itself. The questions I want to explore in this paper concern the current status of preservation and conservation, some of the problems, both theoretical and practical, some possible solutions and the way forward. CURRENT STATUS OF ARCHIVAL PRESERVATION AND CONSERVATION The current status of preservation and conservation seems to be at a watershed after some forty years. There is a sense that the wheel has almost turned full circle - back to basics in the profession if you like - and that preservation is returning to its place as a core activity of everyone involved in libraries and archives. One of the crucial changes is the realisation that access is supported by preservation; consequently increased demand results in increasing need to ensure the survival of the material.

  • Conservation of Leather and Textiles from the Defence 1
    JAIC 1978, Volume 18, Number 1, Article 5 (pp. 33 to 43) CONSERVATION OF LEATHER AND TEXTILES FROM THE DEFENCE Kenneth Morris, & Betty L. Seifert ABSTRACT—The article provides case studies for the conservation of water- logged archaeological leather and textiles. The materials described had been recovered from the underwater archaeological site of the DEFENCE (an American privateer sunk in 1779). Modifications of existing conservation treatments for these materials are described, including the use of oxalic acid to reduce metallic encrustations, the support of leather disruptions, and the use of freeze-drying in the conservation of particularly fragile textiles. 1 INTRODUCTION THE USE OF FREEZE-DRYING in the preservation of archaeological materials is a technology still being developed. Newly modified treatments have been used with initial success at the Maine State Museum Regional Conservation Center (MSMRCC) for a variety of organic materials recovered from the underwater site of an American privateer, the DEFENCE.1 Among the materials being treated are wood, leather, and textiles. Some wood is being stabilized using a freeze-drying treatment proposed by Ambrose.2 Leather and textile treatments also use freeze-drying and some methods and materials proposed by Rosenquist3,4 and Geijer.5 The treatments for leather and textiles now in use at the MSMRCC are outlined here, and in each instance, case studies are presented. 2 A CONSERVATION TREATMENT FOR LEATHER FROM THE DEFENCE AT THE TIME of recovery from this site, the leather was often soft and flexible; or stiff and inflexible when encrusted with metallic deposits (principally iron). The surface of the leather varied in appearance from smooth and well preserved to worn and disrupted.

The manuscript was made from cotton fibers that may have been used the induction of paper. It’s exposure to various deteriorating factors, including neglect and inappropriate exhibition, caused a lot of damage. The unavailability of appropriate conditions at the library, including relative humidity, temperature, light and unsealed storage cases, lead to gathering of air dust particles and aerosols inside the storage rooms. All these factors led to severe damage which resulted in the manifestation of dust and fungi stains formed on the paper manuscript. This research offers a treatment and restoration plan and illustrates the actual scientific procedures that were followed during the restoration and treatment of the manuscript, starting from the archaeological documentation, the analysis and scientific inspection (SEM-EDX, FTIR-ATR) which were carried out to identify the components, and the actual stages of restoration and conservation.

While the process is associated with Japanese craftsmen, the technique was also applied to ceramic pieces of other origins including China, Vietnam, and Korea. Kintsugi became closely associated with ceramic vessels used for chanoyu Japanese tea ceremony. When it was returned, Japanese Art with ugly metal staples, it may have prompted Japanese Art craftsmen to look for a more aesthetic means Japanese Art repair. As a philosophy, kintsugi can be seen to have similarities to the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi Japanese Art, an embracing of the flawed or imperfect. This can be seen as a rationale for keeping an object around even after it has broken and as a justification of kintsugi itself, highlighting the cracks and repairs as simply an event in the life of an object rather Japanese Art allowing its service to end at the time of its damage or breakage, and can be seen as a variant of the adage "Waste not, want not". Not only is there no attempt to hide the damage, but the repair is literally illuminated Mushin is often literally translated as "no mind," but carries connotations of fully existing within the moment, of non-attachment, of equanimity amid changing conditions. The Japanese Art of existence over time, to which all humans are susceptible, could not be clearer than in the breaks, the knocks, and the shattering to which ceramic ware too is subject.
