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 1 of the Handbook of
Museum Textiles focuses on conservation and cultural research and
addresses the proper display, storage, upkeep, handling, and
conservation technology of textile artifacts to ensure their
