| Abstract: | Conclusions. The benefits of enhancing and extending useful life are critical to the institutions and individuals seeking to preserve society's written heritage. Since each library collection is unique, conservators and preservation administrators will assign individual value to process benefits. The EEUL system is only one example of how process benefits can be measured. It should be used in addition to evaluating process features, as defined in FMC's evaluation strategy document, as a way to compare alternative mass deacidification techniques. Summaries. FMC Corporation has developed a commercial process that enhances and extends the useful life of paper through deacidification and strengthening. If alternative processes are to be evaluated and compared, a numerical system may be helpful to measure the benefits of treatment programs in extending and enhancing useful life. This article explains this concept. |
