Abstract: An article preservation system and method includes an acid-containing article which is contacted with an alkaline substrate material and an artificial atmosphere which is substantially free of gaseous oxygen. The article, alkaline substrate material and artificial atmosphere are hermetically sealed, along with an oxygen-absorbing material, within an interior of a container.
Abstract: An article preservation system and method includes an acid-containing article which is contacted with an alkaline substrate material and an artificial atmosphere which is substantially free of gaseous oxygen. The article, alkaline substrate material and artificial atmosphere are hermetically sealed within an interior of a container, at least a portion of the container being at least partially transparent so as to permit viewing of the article from outside the container.
