Abstract
The necessity of analysis prior to the actual conservation of leather is stressed, and instructions with regard to chemical determinations are given. Cleaning, restoration, consolidation and conservation of art objects, artifacts, antiquities and archaeological finds (especially water-logged) made of leather, are discussed at length; a number of recipes based on theoretical design and corroborative testing are proposed. See also AATA 20-2330.
