Water is present when paper is made and when it ages. Water also serves many essential functions when deteriorated paper is treated by conservators. Drawing on paper industry and scientific research, Paper and Water examines closely the relationship between this common cellulosic material and H2O.The interaction between paper and water is a topic of primary importance for every conservator working with paper objects and other cellulose-based materials. Throughout the book, the theories that underlie the effects of water on paper, and their practical application, are presented in relation to the processes of conservation. Paper and Water is a reference and teaching compendium for conservation professionals involved in the preservation of paper objects in archives, libraries and fine museums around the world. Written by experts in paper conservation, this book and DVD aim to serve a rapidly expanding profession.The book includes :- integrated knowledge from disciplines of paper engineering, conservation science and conservation practice- hundreds of full colour illustrations to aid understanding- DVD featuring videos and animations, most of which exclusively produced for this book, and a selection of key illustrations from the book to support teaching
