Abstract
MUSEUM curators are often faced and baffled by the problem of dealing with objects of metal which have deteriorated through exposure, and tend to go from bad to worse when placed on exhibition. They will find a very useful guide to the most satisfactory methods of treatment in a paper by Dr. Alexander Scott in the Museums Journal of April (p. 4), where, in addition, hints are given for making brittle substances flexible, for using hydrogen peroxide in restoring degraded flake white to its original colour, for treating foxed prints and removing oil stains.
