Parchment sheets are among the most precious assets in libraries and archives which at the same time are most vulnerable to RH and temperature fluctuations.
Since 2016, we have been working on development of methodology to quantitatively asses the risks of mechanical damage to historic parchments due variation in environment. We have implemented a new module that allows users to estimate risks based on climate data they upload. The research results has been recently published in article “Risk of climate-induced damage in historic parchment” in the journal Heritage Science.
