The books and documents that carry the records of human civilization are crumbling because the paper on which they are printed is turning to dust. The alum used to prevent ink from bleeding is turning into sulfuric acid, making the paper brittle. The documentary shows us preservation centers where conservationists treat weakened books and introduces us to some of the foremost authorities in the field. It also reviews the various ways of coping with deteriorating paper, such as boxing, filming and strengthening. Turning to Dust raises crucial issues such as how to determine which books to save and how to prevent continued use of acidic paper when alternatives exist. Saving the collective memory of humankind has become a race against time. Preservation is painstakingly slow and trained professionals are scarce. Can enough be done quickly to save books from turning to dust? 001355212 546__ $$aIn English. 001355212 650_0 $$aLibrary materials$$xConservation and restoration. 001355212 650_0 $$aBooks$$xConservation and restoration. 001355212 650_0 $$aPaper$$xDeterioration. 001355212 655_7 $$aDocumentary films.$$2lcgft 001355212 7001_ $$aMurray, David,$$edirector,$$eproducer. 001355212 7001_ $$aSuzuki, David T.,$$d1936-$$enarrator. 001355212 85640 $$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLN4;2774568 001355212 901__ $$aASP2774568/fln4$$bVaAlASP$$c25743$$tbiblio 001355212 905__ $$uadmin 001355212 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1355212$$pGLOBAL_SET 001355212 910__ $$aJB 2015-06-18 001355212 941__ $$a1003832136 001355212 944__ $$a2774568 001355212 945__ $$aUnited States 001355212 950__ $$aDVDF$$aFLON$$aVSTR$$aAMZN$$aAVN2$$aEBAP$$aPDAP$$bFLN3$$cVSTR-ST$$cDVDF-ST$$cFLON-14$$cAVN2-BF$$cFLON-15$$cEBAP-BF$$cPDAP-BF 001355212 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001355212 980__ $$aBIB 001355212 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001355212 983__ $$aOnline
