AFTER: After documentation and disassembly, each page was dry cleaned overall. The pressure-sensitive tapes and adhesive were removed mechanically and with heat, solvent and suction. Each page was then water-washed and deacidified. Tears and losses were repaired with starch paste, Japanese tissue, and paper pulp and then flattened. The passport was collated and reassembled in the original manner using the original thread.
