Disbinding
At the start of the project, the 500 bound volumes of approximately 10,000
pamphlets were sent to Preservation Technologies for mass deacidification
using Bookkeeper®, a patented process that neutralizes harmful acids
by suspending the books in an inert liquid (a blend of non-toxic, fluorinated
materials), and dispersing microscopic buffer materials (magnesium oxide).
The books are brought to the Conservation Unit to be disbound.
The covers are removed and the pamphlets separated into their original
single issue form.
