They only served as stopgap measures because eventually the replacement volumes themselves would become brittle and deteriorate. Although some flaws from the original may transfer to the copy, advanced photocopying methods remove most of the yellowing, cracking,foxing and crumbled edges seen in the original pages. Document Reproduction Services will help you keep your volumes in circulation by providing reproduction copies that are inexpensive, archivally sound and easy to maintain. Any volume with text area of less than 11 by 17 inches can be duplicated. We handle each fold-out and plate according to your instructions and often make color copies for maps and color plates.
Every volume is photocopied page by page.
After photocopying, each book is examined and collated. Photocopied fold-outs are assembled exactly as they appeared in the original volume. Any pages with flaws are recopied. The volumes are inspected again after they are bound. Materials We photocopy on an opaque paper of appropriate weight which meets the ANSI Standard Z39.48-1984 for printed library materials.
