![]() However, due to its high market value, between three up to five million for one with good condition, many people still collect and sell this heritage for a living. Law Number 11 of 2010 regarding Cultural Heritage has mentioned that the ancient manuscript is included as a cultural heritage forbidden for sale. “They sell it to the foreign collector or other countries, so many of our ancient manuscripts have switch ownership,” he explained. The ancient document is also widely traded in the dark market by irresponsible parties. It is not surprising that the policies on old documents have not fully protected this type of heritage. Asep Yudha Wirajaya, M.A., shared this information in Bincang Sastra (Literature Discussion) held by the Alumni of Teater Sastra (Tesa) Student Association FIB UNS on Sunday ().Īsep Yudha Wirajaya explained that many people in Indonesia bet one eye on the ancient manuscripts, despite the rich science, knowledge, and information contained in the documents. This result perfectly reflects the CRCC’s mission of preserving the past through innovation.UNS - The Faculty Member of Malay Focus, Indonesian Language and Literature Program Faculty of Cultural Studies (FIB) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta shared the importance of preserving and utilizing ancient manuscripts. This important study, which lasted approximately 10 years and was partly conducted at the SOLeIL synchrotron facility, south of Paris, enabled scientists to propose novel treatments that simply require contact with an interleaved sheet impregnated with active products, rather than complete immersion in a solution. “Over time, it diffuses through the paper, browns the back and damages the cellulose, creating splits and holes.” Once researchers had established that the iron(II) sulfate contained in the ink was the main culprit for this chemical degradation, they artificially reproduced the effect in order to determine the most effective treatment for severely damaged documents. Containing ferrous sulfate, gum arabic, and oak galls, it poses a recurrent problem for librarians,” the scientist explains. ![]() “In Western europe, from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, most writing was made with this type of ink. Rouchon and her colleagues also study iron gall ink. It had been carefully preserved in a polystyrene box ever since. Researcher Véronique Rouchon remembers examining one of the oldest pieces of paper in the world, a 2000-year-old sample discovered by ArScAn 3 researchers Jean-Paul Desroches, Guilhem André, and their team during a French archeological mission in Mongolia in 2006. ![]() Newspapers are not the only treasures hidden in the conservation center’s cupboards. In Champs-sur-Marne, east of Paris, the CRCC’s affiliated partner laboratory, the LRMH, 2 deals mainly with stone, stained glass, concrete, and decorated caves. In Paris, most of its premises now house specialists in a variety of fields, such as leather and parchment, photographs, plastic, natural history specimens, as well as issues regarding lighting and art display. Since its creation, the CRCC has obviously evolved and extended its scope of research. A better understanding of the phenomenon would enable scientists to slow it down and, eventually, contain it. The Center was founded in 1963 to analyze the mold that had ravaged libraries during the Second World War. Here, chemists, physicists, and microbiologists combine their efforts to study how graphic material and other documents deteriorate over time. The fifth and sixth doors of the Grande Galerie de l’Evolution building, located in Paris’s Jardin des Plantes, are home to one of the country’s main institutions for heritage preservation: the CRCC, 1 a Mecca for conservation.
