Object conservation (made of board, paper or similar)

Some objects share with book and paper their supports and features, and hence we can also restore them.
For instance fabric, wood, metal and board are very common supports of book covers. We know well cloth architectural plans and lined maps. We are also familiar with gesso finishings (cartapesta, papier maché, globes), ivory (in fans or book cover’s decoration), plastic, glass (from glass plate negatives) and some other.
