 Message: 
Dee,


I would agree that any coating on a boot should have been water repellent or 
water proof - originally. Cellulose nitrate coatings will become brittle over 
time (it doesn't take that long, under the "right" circumstances). Most CN 
lacquers "cure" through the evaporation of the solvents. Even if the CN itself 
may remain insoluble, my experience with pre- and post-WOII war furniture is 
that their finish will become water sensitive, leaving permanent blanched areas 
when exposed to water. Nonetheless, I would follow the suggested approach of 
controlled humidification through Goretex or Sympatex.

   If the boots date from 1930s or 40s, any coating on the leather is likely to 
be cellulose nitrate (CN). PVC was used more widely after this period. CN can 
be readily identified using the diphenylamine test and will produce a dark blue 
colour. PVC will give  a green flame when burned on a copper flame in the 
Beilsten test. Because both of these plastics are water resistant, dampening 
the tissue paper to soften before peeling it off would be a sensible approach.

Hi Dee, my first thought when I read this is that the tissue likely adhered 
because of plasticizer (maybe it's PU patent leather?) or an old resin 
coating/finish migrating to the surface.

I might try controlled humidification by using damp blotter layered with 
Gore-Tex or similar (though test the tissue to make sure there isn't dye bleed 
first). Try it out for maybe 10 mins and see if gentle mechanical removal works 
then.

Let us know how it goes.

Subject: Tissue paper adhered to patent leather



 I am currently treating a pair of pull-on black leather boots with a very high 
shine surface finish (I think this is considered patent leather). They date 
from the 1930s or early 1940s. The  boots had been wrapped for storage many 
years ago in black tissue  paper, which has unfortunately become firmly adhered 
to the majority of the surface. The paper will not release with gentle 
mechanical action alone, so I believe I will have to introduce moisture and / 
or solvent. I do not currently have access to a functioning fume  hood. Any 
thoughts?

<https://courtauld.ac.uk/whats-on/herie-digital-platform-for-decision-support-in-preventative-conservation/>


Join us for an insightful talk by Professor Łukasz Bratasz as he presents 
HERIe, a powerful digital decision-support tool that helps assess environmental 
risks to heritage assets.

HERIe provides remote access to advanced data analysis and risk assessment 
modules, supporting informed decision-making for the preservation of cultural 
property. The platform includes tools to evaluate risks from:
- Mechanical damage due to fluctuations in temperature and relative humidity
- Chemical degradation
- Light Damage
- Showcase design for relative humidity control
- Fire risk
- Estimation of pollutant levels in rooms and showcases
- Automatic climate classification according to ASHRAE guidelines

Users can upload their own data to assess risks under specific environmental 
conditions. HERIe can also estimate the impact of moving objects between 
environments, such as for loans and exhibitions.

In this presentation, Professor Bratasz will demonstrate how HERIe can be used 
as a decision-support tool through practical case studies featured on the 
platform. HERIe is developed with funding from the European Commission's 
GoGreen project and the Getty Conservation Institute, in collaboration with the 
Canadian Conservation Institute, English Heritage, and University College 
London.

 Subject: RE: Possible pollutions in new highly automated archive with 
low-oxygen atmosphere
 Message: 
Dear Karin,


A reduced oxygen store of this kind needs to be constantly topped up with 
nitrogen in order to keep the oxygen concentration inside below 15%. There will 
always be a small amount of leakage however well the building is sealed; there 
should be a slight over-pressure to ensure that the leakage is mostly outwards. 
This means that pollutants should not accumulate inside the store.


Best wishes,


Barry

Subject: Possible pollutions in new highly automated archive with low-oxygen 
atmosphere

A highly compact, automated high-bay storage facility over 20 metres high is 
currently being planned for a large state archive in Switzerland. Parts of the 
upper walls are to be constructed using timber (infill), and the interior will 
be equipped with a low-oxygen atmosphere as a fire protection measure. This 
measure means that there will be allmost no air exchange inside the storage 
facility. My question: are there any other archive, library or museum projects 
that have dealt with this Situation (pollutant emissions in high-bay warehouses 
with low-oxigen atmosphere, timber construction)? Does anyone have experience 
with the emission of building materials (in this case wood) or archive material 
in such a situation? Is there any knowledge of pollutant accumulation 
(top/bottom/corners of a room), or is the minimal leakage through the operation 
of an airlock sufficient to make the problem negligible? Thank you for all your 
answers and comments.

 Message: BPG Call for Papers - AIC Annual Meeting 2026


The Book and Paper Group (BPG) invites abstracts for presentations at the 54th 
American Institute for Conservation's Annual Meeting, jointly held with 
CAC-ACCR <https://www.cac-accr.ca/> in Montreal, Canada, April 28–May 2, 2026. 
Abstracts (≤500 words) are due September 30, 2025. 



Theme: Conservation at the Intersection of Innovation and Tradition 
<https://www.culturalheritage.org/events/annual-meeting/current-meeting>
 In a time of shifting political, social, ecological, economic, and 
technological contexts, conservators are redefining disciplinary boundaries in 
search of clarity and renewal. This meeting will highlight the dynamic 
relationship between past and future, acknowledging continuity while embracing 
experimentation. We invite proposals that explore how conservation can thrive 
at the edge of tradition, progress, and reinvention, grounded in legacy and 
community.




To be considered for a BPG specialty session, please select "Specialty or 
Interest Session"  as one of your preferred choices, and check the "Book and 
Paper" option when submitting.






Concurrent General Session Topics (The following sessions are organized by BPG, 
but ALL SPECIALTIES are encouraged to submit) 

Looking Back to Move Forward: Revisiting and Rethinking Past Treatments
Every conservation treatment is shaped by the knowledge, tools, and materials 
available at the time. As techniques evolve and scientific understanding 
deepens, treatments once considered best practice can reveal unexpected 
strengths or unanticipated vulnerabilities when revisited decades later. This 
session will explore the lessons learned from re-examining past conservation 
interventions and biases, focusing on how they have aged, how they influence an 
object's current condition, and how contemporary approaches might yield 
different outcomes.

We invite presentations that analyze case studies across a range of materials 
and contexts, whether a treatment has held up remarkably well or presented new 
challenges over time. Topics may include changes in material behavior, the 
long-term stability of adhesives and fills, the effects of environmental 
conditions, and the role of improved imaging or analytical technologies in 
reassessing earlier work. Speakers may also address the ethical dimensions of 
altering or reversing older treatments and the decision-making processes that 
balance historical preservation with current best practices.

By critically reflecting on our professional past, this session aims to 
strengthen our collective ability to innovate responsibly, integrating the 
wisdom of tradition with the possibilities of new technologies to ensure the 
long-term care of cultural heritage.




To be considered for this general concurrent session, please select "Looking 
Back to Move Forward: Revisiting and Rethinking Past Treatments" as one of your 
preferred choices when submitting.



Challenges to Specialization: Cross-Collaborative Approaches to Integrative 
Conservation
In some countries, conservation training emphasizes broad material knowledge 
and greater fluidity across specialties. In contrast, the current model in the 
United States and Canada promotes deep specialization in singular material 
types, resulting in highly defined but often narrowly focused skill sets. This 
approach is reflected in conservation lab spaces, academic programs, 
professional development opportunities, and publications, where cross-specialty 
collaboration is limited.

However, the complex, multi-material nature of many objects routinely 
challenges this model. These objects can be both daunting and frequent in 
conservation practice, as they can require a range of skills. Museums commonly 
house a diverse array of materials, and libraries, archives, and other cultural 
heritage institutions are increasingly evolving in a similar direction. These 
complexities highlight the need for greater collaboration across 
specialties-opportunities that allow conservators to broaden their skillsets 
and provide more informed, holistic care for collections.

This session invites presentations that explore integrative approaches to 
conservation, with a particular focus on cross-specialty collaboration in 
treatment, training, and research. We welcome case studies, institutional 
models, and critical reflections that address the limitations of our current 
specialization framework, and propose strategies to foster more connected and 
adaptable conservation practices.




To be considered for this general concurrent session, please select "Challenges 
to Specialization: Cross-Collaborative Approaches to Integrative Conservation" 
as one of your preferred choices when submitting.
