However, the degree of damage will depend on age, quality, place of storage of the papers, and extent of exposure. Water makes the papers fragile and can easily tear. For rewritten documents the ink comes out and the words are not easily seen. While smoke destroys the top covers and the edges. To curb these effects, there are two categories of paper restoration New Jersey techniques, which are either traditional or modern.

    Traditional techniques are only limited to small damages. They are easy and simple to use since they do not require complicated tools. They are mostly applied at homes and in case of minor accidents, for example your birth certificate has fallen on a sink full of water, put underneath a drier but not too close to the mouth.
