Paper and Textiles: The Common Ground
edited
by L. Eaton & F. Butterfield
Pre-prints of the SSCR Conference held in Glasgow
19
& 20 September 1991.
Both textiles and paper contain cellulose and these eleven papers explore
this shared territory, while acknowledging certain chemical and physical
differences. Recognizing these differences, textile conservators have
successfully adapted traditional methods and materials employed by paper
conservators. For example, the benefits of wheat starch paste, as well as the
use of a local suction point to remove stains on a silkscreen, are examined.
Scientific papers include: FTIR spectroscopy, enzyme treatment and the effect
of alkali on cellulose fibers. The exchange of ideas between paper and
textile conservators is revealed in several thought-provoking case studies
which examine the problems of textile mixed with paper, the effect this has
on conservation treatments and the dilemma of creating appropriate storage.
