Dr. Johanna Rachinger
Director General of the Austrian National Library
The Austrian National Library Map Department owns rare treasures that include 220 large-format, colorfully illustrated atlases from the 17th century. Copper pigments were often used as a green color for coloring the historical maps of the world and the heavens. Over the centuries, these pigments have a damaging effect on the paper. The green color turns brown, and the copper corrosion degrades the paper, causing it to crack. An elaborate restoration project is dedicated to saving these important cultural documents and safeguarding them for future generations.
