This is the use of acid and lignin
free materials (mats and backboards) and reversible hinging techniques
(mulberry hinges with rice paste or Mylar mounting strips/corners) in an effort

stretch mounting textiles by sewing or pinning using stainless steel pins. Full
archival treatment should include Ultraviolet protective glazing whether it be
clear, non-reflective, or anti-reflective glass or acrylic.
