Hello Stephan, Recently I've been exploring the same issue and can refer you to a few texts. Disertation Foxing of paper caused by fungi and molecular monitoring of conservation treatments, Astrid Michaelsen, Dissertationsgebiet (lt. Studienblatt): Dr.- Studium der Naturwissenschaften Genetik-Mikrobiologie Betreuer: Universitat Wien, oktober 2010. http://othes.univie.ac.at/12511/1/2010-10-18_0409787.pdf especially chapter VI - Monitoring of the effects of different conservation treatments on paper infecting fungi where the author compares the effect/efficiency of treatment with low temperature, gamma radiation, and ethylene oxide. Have you done sampling, what types of microorganisms, or what species of fungi?

So basically dry heat desinfection using a controlled environment. Information with regards to the treatment of archival material and books would be particularly interesting. Are there relative sustainable temperatures for paper maybe even considering rare and not rare materials. How about combined or hybrid treatments of freezing with subsequent heating? Certainly the main concern is possible induced accelerated ageing and its quantification. Another major question concerns humid material (paper) as it is thought that e.g. gamma irradiation treatment will result in efficient desinfecction, however, when the material is irradiated in a humid state and exposed to ambient air without prior drying a subsequent micro-organism outbreak is nearly unavoidable. In this context what are the best drying techniques considering mass treatments and I mean up to several linear quilometers of books and archival material. Any comments and indications will be highly appreciated. Thanks so much for your help.
