Handbook of Museum Textiles Textiles have been known to us
throughout human history and played a vital role in the lives and
traditions of people. Clothing was made by using different
materials and methods from natural fibers. There are different
varieties of textiles, out of which certain traditional textiles,
archaeological findings, or fragments are of cultural, historical,
and sentimental value such as tapestries, embroideries, flags,
shawls, etc. These kinds of textiles, due to their historical use
and environmental factors, require special attention to guarantee
their long-term stability. Textile conservation is a complex,
challenging, and multi-faceted discipline and it is one of the most
versatile branches of conservation. Volume II of the Handbook of
Museum Textiles provides precise instruction for conservation
techniques to preserve the textile heritage more scientifically and
technologically. Additionally, the book covers the most modern
techniques used to characterize archaeological textiles and dyes.
Progress and innovation in nanotechnology-based interventions in
museum textiles are emphasized. Chapters cover the general
introduction to biological damage caused by physical and chemical
agents and their prevention methods. Information on microscopy and
characterization of historical textiles, ancient dyes, and prints
is highlighted. Several aspects of assessment of degradation,
repair, and stabilization of antique textiles are presented in
depth. Experimental research methods for diagnosis and scientific
study of fibers and natural dyes using LC-MS and UV-VIS are
described. Practical knowledge based on analysis and visualization
of historical textiles for the needs of museum conservation,
exhibition, digital technology, and virtual museums is addressed as
well. Audience It will serve as an educational asset and tool for
researchers, art scholars, archaeologists, museum curators, and
those who are interested in the field of traditional or historic
textile collections.
