Subject: Encapsulation
Can anyone provide us with specific instructions - written and/or diagrams - for encapsulating an entire folio or double-page spread from a book, without cutting it in half and encapsulating it as two separate sheets, when making a Mylar book. Any advice or accounts of experience or references to existing descriptions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Joan ten Hoor, Preservation Librarian, Newberry Library 60 W.

We are interested specifically in techniques for single bifolia right now, but any info on nested bifolia might come in handy. We are embarking on a project to format some of our county atlases as Mylar books. Many of these have maps and illustrations that take up a bifolium. *** Conservation DistList Instance 4:45 Distributed: Saturday, February 23, 1991 Message Id: cdl-4-45-005 ***Received on Wednesday, 20 February, 1991
