In Tver from ancient archival clips created an unusual collection

The State Archives of the Tver region presented an unusual collection of metal objects extracted from documents.

As told in the GATO, during the restoration of archival files, various paper clips, staples and other metal objects are removed from documents. This is done in order to avoid further damage to the sheets of documents, to ensure good disclosure of the case, preventing possible ruptures, to prevent a chemical reaction: corrosion products can react with paper components, ink, glue, stamps, etc.

Employees of the laboratory of the State Archives of the Tver region extracted from the files dozens of various stationery brackets, pins, cloves, paper clips and crosslinkers. Some of them are now in a separate collection.

When preparing the panels were inspired by the work of colleagues from the United State Archives of the Chelyabinsk region.
