Cost-Effective Restoration / Conservation
for Books, Manuscripts, Documents
and Files X-Rays
Handling Water, Fire, Smoke, Soot, and Mold Damaged
Materials
 | Restoration water damaged books and water damaged
documents must be handled carefully to avoid inflicting any additional damage.
|
| Limit the possible exposure to harmful molds and
bacteria on water damaged vellum documents and water damaged leather books.
Disposable gloves and protective masks should be worn by all personnel.
|
| Work as quickly as safety
considerations permit. (This is not the time to sort water damaged documents
and water damaged books!) |
Packing Water Fire Smoke Soot Mold Damage Books, Manuscripts, Documents and
Files X-Rays
| Restoration of water damaged paper and water damaged
documents and water damaged books should be packed in heavy duty vinyl milk
crates, if available. (Heavy duty cardboard boxes, approx. 18"x12"x10", lined
with plastic garbage bags are an acceptable alternative for water damaged
books and water damaged documents.) |
| Restoration packing for water damaged leather books and
water damaged documents alternating spine up and spine down. This proven
packing method minimizes cockling. |
| Restoration water damaged books and water damaged
vellum documents and water damaged file folders should be packed upright as if
they were in a file drawer. |
| Restoration of oversized water damaged paper documents
and water damaged leather books can be packed flat with other items of similar
size. |
| Interleaf water damaged documents and water damaged
leather books only if colors are bleeding or migrating. This usually happens
with red or blue cloth bindings. Freezer paper, butcher paper, or deli wrap
sheets are all suitable for this use. To save time interleaf every other
volume. |
| Pack all water damaged
books and water damaged documents tightly within the confines of the box but
never force a volume into place. |
Freezing Water Fire Smoke Soot Mold Damage Books, Manuscripts, Documents and
Files X-Rays
| Restoration of water damaged leather books and water
damaged paper documents should be frozen as quickly as possible. Subzero
temperatures inhibit mold growth and the deterioration of water damaged
documents and water damaged books, and magazine stock (coated paper),
minimizing the tendency for these materials to form into an inseparable block.
|
| In an extreme winter emergency, water damaged paper
documents and water damaged leather books can be stored out of doors as long
as it is not exposed to temperatures above freezing or excessive moisture,
i.e. snow or sleet. |
Conservation Shipping Water Fire Smoke Soot Mold Damage Books, Manuscripts,
Documents and Files X-Rays

damaged documents for restoration overnight to Midwest Freeze Dry via UPS or

| Transport larger water damaged quantities of documents
and water damaged books by a book conservation moving or shipping company. We

facility. |
