WHO NEEDS CONSERVATION/PRESERVATION AND RESTORATION
The art of conservation and preservation is as old as human civilization itself. Various historical scriptures on stones, metal, palm leaves, papyrus, barks, leather , vellum and parchment forms a cultural heritage of mankind and the conservation of such holdings is of vital importance.
Our ancestors over 3000 years ago have used the best materials available and also taken care to conserve them by implementing simple yet efficient methods like drying the palm leaves and papyrus rolls every summer to keep the ink intact. The scriptures were always stored in a cylindrical box of wood and ivory as ivory was considered to be a natural preservative which kept insects and worms at bay.
