[Sca-librarians] Iron Gall Ink

[Anplica Fiore]

A blurb on this week's newsletter from American Library Association
directed me to a site on iron gall ink.  This ink was used quite a bit
in our period of study since it is somewhat permanent and .  The
downside is depending on the recipe used in its creation and the
condition it's stored in it can cause the degradation of the paper it
is used on.  For more information on this fascinating ink, including
recipes and conservation techniques for documents written in iron gall
ink, check out the ink corrosion website:

Enjoy!
