Local governments in New York State use a variety of vendors to conserve their bound records.
Some treatments are standard, others include questionable materials and practices.
We are looking for as specific information as possible. For instance, that re-enforcing of paper should be done with Japanese tissue and not cerex nylon. If am wondering if others have developed any such treatment guidelines, and if so would they be willing to share them with me. They get the governments to buy into rebinding with leather and gold tooling as well. One of our problems is we can't just tell the governments to be sure the processes are reversible since the vendors are telling them it is without telling them all the chemicals they have to use to reverse the glues.
