f. Paints, Frintod Books, and Manuscripts Books, prints,
and documonts from archivos prosont tho probloms arising from
damago to tho "support" papor, silk, vollum, otc., on which tho
writing or printing stands. Dotorioration from storago is most-
ly duo to mold and insocts. Torn shoots should not bo promaturo-
ly mondod; the ossontial thing is to koop the fragmonts togothor
in an envolopo or box. Adhosivos should not bo usod oxcopt by
an export. Pagos stuck togothor or to somothing olso should bo
loft alono. Wot pagos in domagod books should bo driod by opon-
ing tho book flat and lotting as much air circulato about thom
as possiblo. Loathor bindings can bo kopt from docay by rubbing
in any suitablo drossings such as vasolino, lanolin, or castor oil,
aftor wiping with a damp cloth following a day's airing.
go Statuary and Roliofs Sculpturo offors fowor difficul-
ties than painting and rocords, but cortain procautions boyond the
obvious ones aro to bo noted. Stono and motal should bo kopt as
dry as possiblo, in humidity woll bolow 72 dogroos, whilo wood
for
the
noods a cortain amount of dampnoss for safe storago. Vooden cas-
ing providos a bottor insulation against hoat than motal.
Woodon struts inside casos aro bad, bocauso thoy transmit
shock; the packing should bo donc with cushioning matorial, such
as oxcolsior wrappod in papor, and this should bo always dry.
Fixod wooden objocts that havo boon damagod by blast or hits
should havo thoir splintors and hanging piocos dotachod, but any
ropairs or rostoration must await the attention of oxports. In
all such casos tho proscrvation and caroful laboling of fragments
is important.
h. Arms and Armor Arms and armor aro to bo protoctod from
dampnoss causing rust by boing kopt in a dry place and coatod
with minoral oil or whito vasolino. Thoy novor should bo cloanod
with acid.
i. Toxtilos Toxtiles should bo storod undor tho samo condi-
tions as those outlinod for paintings. Storago of toxtilos should
includo a wrapping in browm papor, but not with papor of high sul-
phito content, nor watorproof tar papor. Cloaning of toxtilos
should not bo attomptod by anyono but an export; if folding is un-
avoidable, fold or roll with tho lining in.
j. Sciontific Colloctions So far as possiblo, sciontific
colloctions should bo loft in whatovor condition thoy aro found
until an oxport can ro-ostablish thoir organization. Insoct
posts will attack zoological spocimons whon thoir casos aro bro-
kon, and this will roquiro the propor uso of insocticidos. In
