Paper materials such as archives, holographs, typescripts, maps, and posters need to be carefully examined prior to organized housing, especially when materials are newly acquired. Paper should be checked for metal fasteners, adhesive tape, soiled surfaces, tears, and the presence of mold or insects (see Mold and Insects). Serious conservation problems should be flagged and/or listed for further attention (see Major Remedial Treatment).
