chew on this
An enlightening documentation of the archival restoration process of a collection of old paper materials, in this case, the Chew Family Papers, from maps to scraps. Here’s a rundown:
Dry Clean / Surface Clean – Use vulcanized rubber sponge and strip yourself of all emotion!
Humidify and Flatten – Use a Flattening Press, not an old dictionary!
Wash – Make sure the Ink is not water soluble!
Mend – Especially necessary when somebody has CHEWED your paper. OK sorry. Wheatpaste, not just for street artists like Swoon.
