| contents | Technical Considerations in Choosing Mass Deacidification Processes. Report. Sparks, Peter G. Archives Cleaning Evaluation Criteria Hazardous Materials Library Materials Paper (Material) Physical Environment Poisons Preservation Program Administration Repair Technological Advancement This report provides technical and scientific information useful for planning a mass deacidification program and choosing mass treatment processes to preserve library and archival paper-based collections. Aimed at institutions investigating mass deacidification as a preservation alternative, the document explains technical and other related factors that decision makers need to consider, as well as a rationale for considering them. The most conservative path to decision making is advocated, with maintaining the safety of the collections given the highest priority. Basic background information about mass deacidification processes is then offered, and reasons for their development are explored. Ways in which mass deacidification differs from single-item treatment are discussed together with the particular challenges of choosing mass processes. Major emphasis is placed on in-depth analyses of six technical evaluation factors: (1) effectiveness of deacidification procedures; (2) unwanted changes in materials; (3) process engineering; (4) extra benefits from specific processes; (5) toxicity; and (6) environmental impact. Other evaluation issues outlined include unit treatment costs, book and document security, logistical considerations, long-term vendor performance and contracting, observation of facility operation, and liability. Brief explanations of organizational and planning considerations that are of primary importance to the total mass deacidification effort are appended. (SD) |
