Fixing • De-acidification • Buffering • Embedding • Storing
The disintegration of paper made in the last 150 years is a well known problem
throughout the world. We now know that endogenous acidifying processes caused
by modern methods of paper manufacture are destroying paper in the medium term.
This process can be slowed-up. The “Bückeburg process“ was developed in the
Lower Saxony State Archives in Bückeburg; harmful substances are washed out of
the paper, acids neutralised and an alkaline buffer added which remain effective for
tens, even hundreds of years.

The Bückeburg process is a method of
mass conserving archival goods in an
aqueous agent.
The results of the Bückeburg process
constitute a significant contribution
towards the conservation of our cultural
history of the past 150 years. |
