Hi--
I would like to know your professional experience and opinion with the
use of buffered or unbuffered, acid-free tissue paper. I am looking to
interweave the tissue between old book pages of original art (some works are
chalk, some charcoal, etc.). They are late19th century tomes whereby the
artwork has bled onto the facing page (which in many cases is blank )but we
need to arrest the bleeding.
My concern and, where I ask your opinion, is there seems to be some
controversy regarding the buffered tissue, that although the buffering agent
will help prevent acid migration to the tissue itself, the buffering agent
(3% calcium carbonate) may have negative effects to perhaps the artwork
and/or paper itself.
You may respond to me off the list or it may be of benefit to the
listserv membership to get a sense of it.
Thank you,
Melisa Nicoud
