"Based on upwards of forty years' practical experience in dealing with the wide variety of problems that arise in the conservation of museum objects of all kinds, [this book] is the most comprehensive work of its kind in any language. Information is given on the nature of the materials found in museums, libraries, archives and picture galleries; the causes of their deterioration are discussed, and detailed instructions are given on methods of preservation, and, where necessary, on repair and restoration"--Jacket.
