The following points sum up objections to the lamination process used for paper: The process and material used are new; The permanence of the qualities of cellulose acetate foil has not been tested by time; Lamination is an irreversible process and a laminated document cannot be delaminated without causing injury to the original; and, Lamination does not remove the cause of deterioration which may be inherent in the paper or ink. The author describes actual findings using cellulose acetate, noting that it is different from cellophane and other nitrate base plastics in chemical composition and permanence qualities. The lamination process is a new treatment of tested, if not proved, stability and is neither irreversible nor irrevocable; that insects do not have a taste for laminated documents is an additional advantage.
