disaster strikes, salvage operations, the
rehabilitation of salvaged materials,
fumigation and sterilization, and the
completion of the recovery operation.
Extensive appendices list human resources,
suppliers of emergency facilities, services,
and materials, etc. [Abstractor's note: This

Title The Corning flood: Museum under water
Abstract Concentrates on the salvage of the Corning
Museum library materials that were water
soaked and covered with debris by the 1972
Hurricane Agnes flood. There are also two
sections on restoration of the glass
collections. Research was undertaken on the
best means to dry out and sterilize the
library collections, which included books and
periodicals, photographs and negatives,
archives, audiotapes, and rare volumes. The
thousands of items had been frozen as the
museum was cleaned up; they were dried out by
traditional interleaving,by dielectric drying,
and by freeze-thaw vacuum drying.
Sterilization was in a vacuum chamber with
ethylene oxide.

Abstract Arson damage to the collections of the Los

reported. Volunteers, under the direction of
Document Reprocessors of San Francisco,
removed a million salvageable volumes from the
premises in a little over three days (80
hours), wet books being placed at once in
commercial freezers and dry books stored at
the Los Angeles Convention Center. Firemen
responding to the blaze took precautions of
covering stack ranges with plastic sheeting to
protect whatever materials they could from
water cascading down from the upper floors.
Volunteer assistance has been available from
local corporations and government agencies.
The library was not equipped with sprinkler
systems and the alarm system was not directly
tied into an emergency number system.

of an emergency,; second, the disaster
recovery plan should be designed for results,
rather than concern with the source of the

Abstract From the flood of florence in 1966 came the
awareness that the so-called limp vellum
binding structures had not inflicted as much
damage to their text blocks as had other
binding structures. Limp vellum binding may
satisfy many conservation principles, for
example as a nonadhesive structure and
transferrable to stiff board.

Source Title The Book and Paper Group Annual
Date Published 1983
Page 19-24
Abstract In December 1981, the Economics Department
Building at the University of Michigan
suffered an arsonist's attack. The fire was
extinguished with huge quantities of water
which flooded the building. A salvage team was
faced with wet, dirty books and paper
deposited layer upon layer in the basement.
Because there was so much material, a decision
was made to throw out replaceable items, make
copies where possible, and restore as few
items as possible. However, due to the
imminent collapse of the building, all
materials were removed and vacuum dried before
any sorting and discarding took place. See
also AATA 15-1235 for more information on
disaster planning.

the basis of such a plan. An excerpt from the

Abstract The occurrence of fungal mycelia on fescoes in
churches in Florence was investigated both
before and after the severe floods of November
1966, The distribution of mycelia was studied
by placing a small piece of adhesive tape on
the surface, removing it and examining it
under the microscope. Mycelial filaments were
spread on the surface and connected to
particles of pigment. Species of fungi were
identified by standard cultural tests. Before
the floods, fungal growth, particularly of
Penicillium, Mucor and Stemphylium were
present; after the floods, fungal growth,
particularly of Penicillium and to a lesser
extent of Mucor and Aspergillus, increased
considerably. A fungicidal deravation of
nystation in water (concentration 10-100

solution, gave excellent results.

Abstract In January of 1979, a large collection of rare
old books at Oxford University was soaked by
water from a burst pipe. The 200 books most
affected were stored frozen. Tests at Havwell
produced the most suitable drying
technique--to dry them fifty at a time in a
vacuum chamber on shelves, with Silica Gel
(dessicant) and thymol at 745 mm Hg. The
drying time was found to be proportional to
its volume divided by its surface area; the
largest book dried in a few days without any
damage other than that caused by the initial
soaking. After drying, the pages were not
fragile and the books could be handled without
risk.

Abstract This study reviews the literature of library
conservation written before and after the
Florence flood of November 4, 1966 to
determine the nature of changes and the impact
of the flood on the development of library
conservation. It is concluded that most of
the changes which occurred after the flood had
begun prior to it. The flood brought
conservation to public attention at a time
when funds were available to exploit that
attention, with the result that progess was
accelerated rather than a new direction being
