Does anyone on the list know of a publication of guidelines for hinging works of art on paper? For years I've been using wheat paste and Japanese paper hinges to attach pieces to their mats or mounts. I've learned a few "tricks" over time for special mounting problems: reinforcements for particularly large or oddly shaped paper objects. But I've been wondering if there is any literature with quantitative guidelines for hinge size, number, placement or weight. I am familiar with a couple of "professional picture framers'" handbooks and have culled out the information I know is conservationally sound. What I hope to find is a resource for mounting works on paper akin to the National Gallery's ART IN TRANSIT workshop materials for transporting paintings or RCAAM's Soft packing workshop.
