Drawing Restoration

As with any work on paper, drawings are subject to typical age damage caused by the acidic nature of the paper.   This includes browning/yellowing of the paper (acid burn), brown spotting (foxing), and mat lines (mat burn).

If the pH of the paper is not neutralized, these unsightly issues will worsen and the paper will become brittle.   Other damage we commonly see on drawings is mold/mildew growth, tears and paper loss, rippling/curling, creasing, abrasions, liquid staining and insect damage.   Acidic mats, acidic backings and tape are also detrimental to a drawing.

ACA Paper Restoration provides drawing conservation, drawing restoration and drawing cleaning.   Our drawing restoration services include drawing cleaning, deacidifying, patching, pressing, mold treatment, archival mounting and retouch.   We also remove backings, mats, and tape, if necessary.
