Summary/Abstract: Of the destructive elements that may cause disasters, the most dangerous is fire. Fire can completely destroy, in a matter of minutes, books and documents. In addition to damage from heat, books can also be severely damaged by smoke, soot and water. This study deals with the treatment and restoration of two carbonized documents. The purpose of the conservation treatments is to stop biological attack and to clean the surface of the document in order to protect it, to consolidate the support material, and to restore the documents to approximate its original condition.
