Abstract
An evaluation of Parylene has been undertaken. This article is a progress report. Parylene has been found to be an effective consolidant for a number of materials, especially those which are too delicate to be treated by conventional procedures. Treatment is described for fossils, natural history specimens, textiles, paper, books, and archaeological and ethnographic materials. Parylene has also proved useful in the treatment of burnt paper.
