- Résumé
- The goal of this research project was to review the use of ultraviolet fluorescence as a non-destructive examination tool for paper artifacts, and to investigate the possibility of systematizing its use in paper conservation. The nature of ultraviolet radiation and the phenomenon of luminescence are defined, followed by a literature review; the latter was undertaken both to assess the extent of research into the use of UV fluorescence and to identify its past applications in paper conservation. An overview of equipment needed for investigations with ultraviolet light, as well as recommendations for the recording of visual phenomena are given, based on the literature and personal experience. Two applications of ultraviolet fluorescence were studied experimentally. Various types of paper were treated separately with organic solvents and bleaches to see if changes in the initial fluorescence of the papers resulted, and whether characteristic fluorescences could be attributed to bleaches or solvents.
