Abstract

This is a continuation of the article in the January 2019 issue regarding organizing and rehousing artifacts in archival collections. For this second installment, I will focus on paper-based collection materials. Paper is made up of cellulose, a plant-based substance. Cellulose is the building block of materials like cotton, linen, and wood, as well as other less common plant-based fibers like kozo, flax, and bark.
