Behind the Scenes at NYPL's Conservation Lab

Drenching a piece of paper in water and alcohol to help save it? It's all in a day's work at The New York Public Library's Barbara Goldsmith Conservation Lab. Watch this full-length video, which is part of an exhibition currently on view at the library called "Mapping New York's Shoreline."

    Are all these things first tried out on less important old documents, to see how spraying liquids etc. will actually react with the paper ?

    Not sure why the rinsing of the paper after treatment does not take effect in this video. Do you rinse the amoniated, ethanol solution? Only the broken down materials show on the blotter but you don't expand on the rinsing of the paper. I would appreciate a response from The New York Public LIbrary

    Very fascinating! I have procedural questions though, should you remove the surface dirt before any sort of water treatment (so as not to pull it further in the fibers)? Also, it looks like she is gluing the japanese paper on top of the document, wouldn't the back be preferable so it isn't as obvious? I'm curious if those things don't matter or if this specific document had restrictions requiring them.

    Japanese paper or Kozo paper is see through, and either way the mat will be covering it when back for display and conservation is complete.

    Late reply. Generally they lightly brush it with a goat hair brush to remove any loose surface dirt. Compressed air is also used.

    Y porque no usan protección para agarrar los documentos?

    Cuando trabjas en este campo siempre te limpias la anos antes, durante y despues de tocar un documento. Algunos docuemntos como los que se han presentado en el video no estaban en un estado de deterioro extremo y podían manipularse con facilidad, por eso seguramente no utilicen protección para moverlos o tocarlos. (Te lo digo por experiencia)
