The 2nd edition of The Care of Prints and Drawings provides
practical, straightforward advice to those responsible for the
preservation of works on paper, ranging from curators, facility
managers, conservators, registrars, collection care specialists,
private collectors, artists, or students of museum studies, visual
arts, art history, or conservation. A greater emphasis is placed on
preventive conservation, a trend among collecting institutions,
which reflects the growing recognition that scarce resources are
best expended on preventing deterioration, rather than on less
effective measures of reversing it. Expanded and richly illustrated
chapters include: *Supports for Prints and Drawings discusses the
properties of parchment and paper and introduces the general
preservation needs and conservation problems of all works on paper,
regardless of their media. *Conservation Problems Related to the
Paper Support of Prints and Drawings presents a guide to
recognizing the symptoms and diagnosing the causes of damage
specific to paper. *Conservation Problems Related to the Materials
and Techniques of Prints describes the conservation problems that
affect certain printmaking materials and arise from specific
processes. *Conservation Problems Related to the Materials and
Techniques of Drawings focuses on the various materials used to
create marks on paper. *Item-Level Collection Protection:
Envelopes, Sleeves, Folders, Enclosures, Mats, Boxes, Frames, and
Furniture, discusses measures taken for prints and drawings so that
they can better withstand the rigors of handling, examination,
exhibition, travel, and adverse environmental conditions.
*Preventive Conservation for Prints and Drawings describes how the
integration of a comprehensive Collections Care Program into a
Collections Management Policy can reduce the need for item-level
conservation treatments. *Basic Paper Conservation Procedures
provides instructions on how to stabilize damaged works. *How to
Make Starch Paste and Methyl Cellulose Adhesive and Suppliers of
Paper Conservation Materials and Equipment are appended as well as
a Glossary.
