Some direct handling of objects may occur in study situations.
Matting secures objects with hinges (or by other means) and gives better support and protection. Although objects are protected in folders, some direct handling of unsecured objects may occur in study situations. #CARING FOR A CARDBOARD ZIGZAG PLANT FULL#
Folders allow full access of unhinged objects.
Most easily accomplished with acid-free folders and acid-free interleaving tissues, except for friable media or exceptionally sensitive surfaces, such as silkscreen. It is up to conservators to make the safest possible accommodation for such circumstances. Constitution, are mandated to be on permanent exhibition. Matting/framing solutions for frequently displayed objects include standardized mat sizes which fit both storage boxes and display frames, use of a second window or protective covering (wrapper) for storage and study that can be turned back to reveal a clean window for display and permanent hinging to a reusable backing board. Matting/framing that allows long- term use of mat for storage and display is recommended. Hinge removal and rehinging should be avoided. 
An object should undergo matting/framing procedures as infrequently as possible. Intended Use of the Object and Life-Expectancy of Matting/Framing Display Compromises on matting materials should not endanger the objects. Space limitations may preclude the use of individual mats and necessitate the use of thinner ply matboard or folders and interleaving tissues. Especially with regard to frames, cost affects the level of skill in workmanship. For certain collections, optimum procedures may have to be modified without sacrificing the safety of the objects in order to arrive at realistic procedures.Īffects procedure, availability of materials and staff. Owner/Custodian of Object Īffects budget allocations, availability of space, preparation time, how the object will look, how the object will be cared for and monitored, environment and type of display. Typical matting and framing presentations may interfere with the visual statement of certain objects, such as contemporary and non-western works of art. Objects which have never been hinged, matted, and/or framed should be evaluated before proceeding. Individual matting/framing alters the context of objects such as sketchbook pages, posters, documents, or ephemera. Objects accompanied by historic framing materials may require special procedures to adapt old frames and mats which are to be maintained. Objects which are not works of art may be more appropriately stored in folders with paper interieaving or, if they do not have friable media, in polyester film folders and displayed using non- hinging techniques. Matting/Framing may not be necessary in many cases. 5.18 Non-Adhesive Hinging Techniques: Z-fold Stripsįactors to Consider Before Matting/Framing Appropriate or Necessary Housing for a Given Object. 5.17 Non-Adhesive Hinging Techniques: Visible Edge Strips. 5.16 Non-Adhesive Hinging Techniques: Tabs. 5.15 Non-Adhesive Hinging Techniques: Stieglitz. 5.14 Non-Adhesive Hinging Techniques: Support Corners. 5.13 Non-Adhesive Hinging Techniques: Radiant Sling. 5.12 Non-Adhesive Hinging Techniques: Gillaland Strips. 5.11 Non-Adhesive Hinging Techniques: Edge Wraps. 5.10 Non-Adhesive Hinging Techniques: Callahan Strips. 5.9 Non-Adhesive Hinging Techniques: Corner Examples. 5.8 Non-Adhesive Hinging Techniques: Support Corners. 5.4 Hinge Variations: Tengujo Paper Lascaux Hinges. 4.6 Precautions for Uncontrolled Environments. 3.9 Supports with Uneven Upper Edges Irregular Edges. 3.4 Insecure Media (Friable or Flaking). 3.2 Average Size, Media and Support Without Significant Problems. 3.1 Unframing and Unmatting Paper Objects. 2.19 Equipment and Techniques for Hanging. 1.7 Characteristics and Condition of Paper Object. 1.6 Quality of Environment in Which the Paper Object will Reside. 1.5 Intended Use of the Object and Life-Expectancy of Matting/Framing.
