Abstract

Handwritten books, codices and letters stored or displayed in historic buildings are vulnerable to changes in the outdoor environment due to the limited climate control. Understanding the degradation mechanisms and changes in the structure of leather and parchment could help to find a proper way to protect these pieces from the aging and the environmental effects. In order to identify the aging mechanisms different analytical methods, among them thermoanalytical methods were used. In this work natural aging mechanisms were modeled by acid and alkaline pretreatments. Structural changes of the samples during the aging were explored using thermoanalytical methods, in order to understand the response of parchment and leather to the environmental effects.
