Preservation Products: The most important factor in textile preservation is providing a stable environment for the textile to age in.
All materials that come in contact with the textile must be acid free and very stable.
Museums recognize only archival quality paper and boxes as a way to provide reliable long term storage.
Archival Products are specifically designed to provide this environment.
They are produced with no acidic content which can deteriorate the textile over time.
Proper Textile Management requires periodic access to the material in order to inspect and adjust the garment.
