Manuscripts or original art works indigenous to a region
must be treated with care and experienced judgment.
Until quite recently, many cultures recopied manuscripts
to preserve texts and images as the materials deteriorated.
Unfortunately, many cultures have lost the ability to
copy manuscripts in sufficient numbers to ensure that
texts and images survive; hence the increased interest
in conserving original documents.
