<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 4413839, member: 738"]A quick curatorial note on celluloid. It is a form of plastic, a chemical concoction, and as such, these sometimes go bad over time. Monitor any items you may have for celluloid disease, a break-down evidenced by odor, weeping, cracking and flaking. If you find that, it should be isolated from the rest of your objects, or they will be affected as well. Unfortunately, it is irreversible. Here's a very helpful Conserv-O-gram from the pros at the National Park Service: <a href="https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/08-04.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/08-04.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/08-04.pdf</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
