Mass deacidification of paper, which was not too long ago only a wishful concept, is now a reality. Much to the advantage of libraries and archives, this budding technology continues to advance with a fresh infusion of ideas and resources. The hectic pace of progress over the past few years has justifiably translated into an increasing proliferation of literature. It is hoped that this bibliography, which we expect to update periodically, will serve to keep us informed about recent developments in the field. Carole Zimmermann has made a sincere effort to compile a bibliography that is as comprehensive as possible. Yet, given the high degree of interest in mass deacidification in the popular and the professional press, a first attempt is likely to suffer from some omissions. We welcome response from our readers to help us redress any oversights in future issues of this bibliography.
Kenneth E. HarrisThis bibliography is intended to reach all audiences interested in the preservation of book and paper materials through mass deacidification. For this reason, I have tried to offer a broad presentation of the literature available by including materials from scientific, library science and "popular" works. I subsequently plan to update this bibliography as new material becomes available.
The material in this bibliography is arranged in chronological blocks due to our belief that specific users may wish to consult the most recent literature. An author index has been included for those seeking specific works.
I wish to thank Dr. Chandru Shahani, Dr. Donald Sebera and Gerald Garvey for their continual advice and support in my preparation of this work.
