Historical and cultural relics made of paper are among the most important artifacts of any culture and civilization and are valuable from a historical, artistic, scientific, economic, technical, and religious perspective. All paper materials change over time, so that this process cannot be completely stopped, but the speed of change can be controlled with conservation and restoration operations.
The manuscript studied in this research is a manuscript document belonging to the year 1287 AH, and the Qajar period.
The purpose of this research is to examine the used materials, pathology and finally to present a restoration plan for this manuscript. In this regard, after examining library resources, the fibers, glue, and materials used in the document were identified using laboratory studies, the type of ink used, and other tests for this document. Tests showed that the fibers of the document are wood and the sample contains a small amount of lignin, and the presence of starch and sugars was confirmed in the paste test. The acidity of the paper is 45.5 and the ink used in the document is of the metal-mazonite type and is sensitive to water. After completing the restoration stages of the document, the document was delivered to its owner.
