Episode 11: How to Clean a Manuscript
In this film, Dr Bidur Bhattarai presents how cleaning measures can be carried out for manuscripts and artefacts. Dust is a major enemy as it provides nesting material for insects, and it is an incubator for mould spores and a focus for acid precipitation. Using soft brushes or a variable speed control HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuum removes substances such as dust, mould, and insect and rodent remnants that might eventually damage manuscript folios or that might be transferred to other folios during use.
