"Although concerned primarily with conservation of archaeological objects some of the information is equally relevant to graphic art. It may be found useful by a variety of museum people: by administrators and architects because it contains facts accumulated during actual practical experience: and by the practising conservator and the student because it attempts to direct attention to the essential physical nature of the processes they use. It may even assist them to find better alternatives."--Foreword, page v
