The precious manuscripts of the rabat museum were taken to the restoration studio of the archives nationales in paris, for treatment. Paradichlorobenzene was used during the fumigation treatment. The paper was neutralized by immersion in solutions of calcium hydroxide and calcium bicarbonate. The sheets were then laminated.

This journal article documents the effects of light on museum materials. Theories of light energy, photochemical activity, color temperature, black body (Planckian) radiators are discussed. Both ultraviolet and visible radiation are harmful. At equal levels of intensity, zenith skylight is most hazardous, followed by fluorescent lamps and incadescent. Degradation characteristics include fading, yellowing and embrittlement. Extent of deterioration depends upon radiation intensity, exposure time, spectral characteristics of radiation sources and absorption capabilities of radiant energy by certain materials. High temperatures, moisture content of materials, Rh and the presence of oxygen increase the rate of deterioration. Reduce illumination and exposure time. Eliminate ultraviolet (UV) by using blinds, UV absorbing filters, or reflecting light from surfaces containing zinc oxide or titanium white. Yellow filters eliminate photochemically potent wavelengths of visible light. Generally accepted levels of illumination are: 50 lux for light sensitive materials (silk, newsprint, watercolors), 150 lux for moderately sensitive materials and 300 lux for materials of little sensitivity. 1 foot candle = 10.764 lux. The article is illustrated with numerous charts, tables and photographs. References (1888-1964) are included.

In the hall of evolving life of the los angeles county museum various biological principles are demonstrated in a co-ordinated exhibit which emphasizes the continuity of life. The descriptive labels contain graded information: the principal facts concerning the subject are simply stated in the first paragraph, while subsequent lines give more detail.

The article is a summary of the results of a questionnaire sent out by ICOM in 1955. It is a comprehensive survey of the effects of atmosphere on museum objects and methods of measuring and controlling atmospheric effects. The subject headings are: 1. The atmosphere (composition, impurities, humidity, temperature). 2. Hygrometry (including local variations of climate outside and within the museum; ideal climatic conditions; mould growth in the tropics; answers to the questionnaire). 3. Instruments for measuring climatic conditions (both relative humidity and humidity of surfaces). 4. Equipment for controlling climatic conditions (humidifiers, and air-conditioners). 5. Control in practice (as applied to museums, historic buildings and repositories; advice on emergency measures; the problem of the budget). An appendix includes tables of recommended conditions given in answer to the questionnaire, monthly averages of temperature and R. H., comparison of exterior and interior conditions, mean annual and monthly temperatures and R.H. in various cities, comparative data on types of apparatus for measuring R.H., the use of silica gel as a desiccant and applications of air-coinditioning plants to museums (the examples given being in Amsterdam and London).

A model showcase was built for the display of the finest specimens of ancient glassware. Inside, two sets of daylight neon tubes, each encased in mirror screens at the base and top of the case illuminate the objects. The four shelves are of securit glass.
