Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find information about
vinegar syndrome and
newspapers? Everything I find about vinegar
syndrome deals with film or
photos. I dealt with this at another
museum I worked at where hundreds of
documents dating from the 1850-1960s
were stored in scrapbooks (binders) in
plastic along with newspaper
articles from the 1960s and were nearly
destroyed by acid, so I know it
happens, just can't find any info on it.
We just had some newspapers
come in with a collection that are half-way
laminated (for lack of better
terms) and show signs of vinegar syndrome. I
need something to back
up my claims that they need to be scanned and
destroyed and certainly can't
be kept with the rest of our collection. I
thought there would be at
least something out there about it but so far
nothing online or in any of
the books on my book shelf.
Thanks,
Lisa
