“…The evaluations from this line of research have not yet been published. 12 Various deacidification solutions, if not all, have a bleaching effect on the ink. 13 ' 14 Until more is known about the inks and the effect of deacidification solutions on them, it seems best to treat drawings only on the verso with deacidifying compounds.…”

“…To minimize costs and effort, there can be a strong incentive to treat large numbers of items at once, particularly in the case of bound volumes, where ideally one would not have to remove bindings. A mass deacidification program can be defined as an effort to remove acidity from several hundred or more books at a time (Harris 1979;Arnoult 1987;Morrow 1988;Cunha 1989;Hon 1989;Schwerdt 1989;Sparks 1990;Turko 1990;Lienardy 1991Lienardy , 1994McGee 1991;Zimmermann 1991;MacInnes and Barron 1992;Wedinger 1993;Brandis 1994;Harris and Shahani 1994a,b;Wittekind 1994;Kaminska and Burgess 1994;Kaminska 1995;Liers and Schwerdt 1995;Okayama et al 1996;Porck 1996;Blüher and Vogelsanger 2001;Rousset et al 2004;Banik 2005;Ipert et al 2005).…”

Embrittlement threatens the useful lifetime of books, maps, manuscripts, and works of art on paper during storage, circulation, and display in libraries, museums, and archives. Past studies have traced much of the embrittlement to the Brønsted-acidic conditions under which printing papers have been made, especially during the period between the mid-1800s to about 1990. This article reviews measures that conservators and collection managers have taken to reduce the acidity of books and other paper-based materials, thereby decreasing the rates of acidcatalyzed hydrolysis and other changes leading to embrittlement. Technical challenges include the selection of an alkaline additive, selecting and implementing a way to distribute this alkaline substance uniformly in the sheet and bound volumes, avoiding excessively high pH conditions, minimizing the rate of loss of physical properties such as resistance to folding, and avoiding any conditions that cause evident damage to the documents one is trying to preserve. Developers have achieved considerable progress, and modern librarians and researchers have many procedures from which to choose as a starting point for further developments.
