| https://ptlp.com/en/ I don’t think they would be all that useful absent the process applied first. Also, aside from doing an excellent job of preserving the paper itself, the LOC’s condition standards are going to be lower than most anal-retentive private collectors. Just look at how that Batman 1 is being held and that bottom left corner. Also, for those interested, MSU has a comic collection nearly 3x the size of the LOC. Crazy, right? What the LoC uses (link above): “In addition to preserving comic books, Preservation Technologies has helped develop a better way to store them. In conjunction with Library of Congress conservators, Bob Strauss, vice president of marketing for the company, developed a see-through sleeve that protects the comic books from unnecessary handling. "The comic books come to us in older boxes with a minimal-level cataloging record," Strauss said. "Here, they're put into an archival folder that's like an envelope with a clear front and a bar code on the back, so they're getting deacidified and rehoused at the same time." The treated comics are catalogued and returned to the Library of Congress in locked containers.“ Quote: Originally Posted by HulkSmash |
