This is reply to the debate in Conservation Distlist # 7:45 between Dr. Karen Motylewski and Dr. Mary-Lou Florian. I studied biological deterioration of books and manuscripts for many years and I suggest several papers on the subject: Nyuksha, Yu. P., "Biological principles of book keeping conditions," Restaurator, Vol 3, no. 3 (1979):101-108. Article on: Biological problems, Books, Storage conditions Nyuksha, Yu. P. "Biodeterioration and biostability of library materials," Restaurator, Vol.4 no. 1 (1980):71-77. Article on: Biodamage, Biostability, Libraries Nyuksha, Yu. P, Karpenko L. A. "Investigation of fermentative cleaning processes in book restoration," Restaurator, Vol.7 no. 1 (1986):22-35. Article on: Fermentative cleaning, Books, Restauration Nyuksha, Yu. P. "Some special cases of biological deterioration of books," Restaurator, Vol.5 no. 3/4 (1983):177-182. Article on: Biodamage, Books **** Moderator's comments: For those that missed Karen Motylewski's message, this wasn't really a 'debate', but a summary of information derived from Dr. Florian's ICOM paper and seminar at the Campbell Center. Mary-Lou Florian isn't on the DistList. Yu. P. Nyuksha, D.Sc.
