Paper materials such as archives, holographs, typescripts,
maps, and posters need to be carefully examined prior
to organized housing, especially when materials are
newly acquired. Paper should be checked for metal fasteners,
adhesive
tape, soiled surfaces, tears, and the
presence of mold
or insects (see Mold
and Insects).
Serious conservation problems should be flagged and/or
listed for further attention (see Major
Remedial Treatment).
