Their archival methods left something to be desired.
Acid-free materials and adhesives that make up covers such as a chemically stable polyester film, white paper liner with an 8 5-pH level, permanently attached with a specially formulated PVA adhesive (7 9-9 5pH) These covers can safely be used for long-term protection and will not harm the dust jackets or book in any way
Refers to Polypropylene It is acid free or low ph It is the best known material for long term storage of valuable art, photographs and paper goods
Archive data files contain the data and some of the protocol specifications from a set of assay runs The archive data files are stored separately from the test data files Archived assay runs cannot be recomputed or included in a quality assurance evaluation unless they are retrieved back into the test data files
An archival material should have a neutral or slightly alkaline pH; it should also have good aging properties
- The ability of a material, including some printing papers and compact discs, to last for many years
Broadly used to describe materials that have the least harmful effects on the art being framed or stored and thus preserving such pieces for the longest period of time
papers specifically made for an extended lifespan which do not discolour or otherwise deteriorate; used in academic texts and other works of permanent value, and particularly favoured by library conservationists and US libraries, which often require their use
The use of such a product could preserve your photographs and memories for years to come Businesses using it are not policed at this time, but usually it is given only to products, which are chemically stable at the time of sale Check the reputation of the company
The term used to describe materials which may be stored in an archive; in the graphic arts, archival refers to the relative permanence of a material and its ability to remain stable over time
Long-lived, or suited for use with records that will be retained indefinitely It was formerly believed that archival paper had to be made of rag or cotton; now the term is almost synonymous with "permanent," in precise usage It is often used vaguely and inconsistently to suggest that a product has certain keeping qualities
Refers to those collections or records housing systems in which the material from which the container is made has been chemically treated so as to make the container acid-free or noncontaminating When a container has been made acid-free, the pH of that container becomes very close to the absolute neutral pH value, seven An example of such a container is an acid-free cardboard or paper box Also, certain kinds of polyester and plastic boxes or zip-lock bags can be considered archival, if they are made from materials such as polyethylene or polypropylene For plastic zip-lock bags to be considered archival and meeting the compliance standard, the bags, normally used as secondary containers, must be made out of an archivally stable material and the thickness should be at least 4-mil (mil referring to the unit of thickness equaling one thousandth of an inch) or of an adequate thickness to accommodate the artifacts (Other terms used: archivally-stable, or archival-quality)
A term often used to imply that a product will be stable over time and/or not be reactive with enclosed photographs This is a non-technical term that currently has no standard definition or quantifiable method for verification
{s} pertaining to archives (collection of historical or public documents, annals, records)
Any museum quality material that will protect postcards for extended periods of time
Relating to, contained in, or constituting archives, which are places where generally unpublished public records or historical documents are preserved
