Abstract

The documentary collection of the Hemeroteca Nacional de Mexico (HNM) presents many problems for its preservation, due to its large documentary volume, its fast growth, its high demand for query, its few specialized personnel, and the characteristics of the constitutive materials and deterioration of its heritage. To solve these problems, it has been chosen to implement minimal intervention processes that aim to stabilize the documents for use. In order to carry out these treatments, based on the specific needs of hemerographic forms, the use of pre-glued papers has been implemented to avoid or minimize the use of water in direct conservation operations. Likewise, as part of the academic activities focused on the design strategy and improvement of the conservation processes of the HNM, the knowledge of the Curso Internacional de Conservación de Papel en América Latina. Un encuentro con Oriente was implemented. A meeting with the East and its recent 2020 Seminar, to the development of non-aqueous stabilization activities of the collection.
