we stand with uncertainty before this problem, despite experience
and training.

In this seminar, paper and book conservators learn the necessary
biological bases and knowledge of these organisms. Whereupon
constructing simple ways of identification in conservation practice
and current and historical treatments are pointed out and evaluated

also suitable for freelancer, since simple methods are shown and
discussed, which are feasible in each workshop.
