This abbreviated version of an article published by the author in 1998 presents the outcome of research on ink pitting, and, more precisely, on the mechanisms and causes of its origin. The author discusses basic methods of the conservation of objects affected by this type of damage. The studies began with a gathering of prescriptions and the recreation of particular types of ink and India ink, followed by an analysis of their appearance and damage mechanisms. This is the base of a publication containing numerous new information necessary for restoration. The presented study is the first holistic and exhaustive examination of the composite issue at stake and a presentation of ensuing results.

Prof. Dr. Robert Fuchs presents the outcome of long-term research conducted by the Chair of the Conservation and Restoration of Books, Graphic Works and Book Paintings at Fachhochschule Koln on the impact of agents applied universally for “freeing” historical library and archival objects from pests: microorganisms and insects. Particular attention is drawn to the influence of those agents upon changes which they produce in historical objects, often fatal and leading to irreversible damage. Furthermore, the microorganisms are not eliminated to the expected degree. The author proposes to replace chemical agents combating mould, bacteria, and insects by natural climatic factors hampering their further growth, and to apply anti-insect methods which do not damage objects. Fie recommends emphasis upon the necessity of retaining cleanliness and suitable storage conditions. Finally, importance is ascribed to the protection of people — storehouse workers, restorationers, and users, an issue which is often completely ignored.
