Book and print restoration

“Restoration in the area of conflict between ethics, quality and expense”.

Damage to archival and library materials can vary greatly. They range from superficial soiling, stains, folds and creases, tears and missing parts to acidic, brittle paper and ink corrosion.

As varied as the damage patterns and their causes are, as diverse are the restoration options. In addition to traditional treatment, modern methods for the economic treatment of damage are in the foreground.
