Abstract
While we still have much to learn, and there is room for further
progress, it is not only possible, but it is in the papermaker's own economic
interests to produce permanent/durable paper. Such paper can reasonably
be expected to last several hundred years instead of the twenty-five to fifty
years for modern acidic book paper. There is thus no excuse for producing
books and other publications of lasting importance on anything other
than paper meeting existing standards for permanence and durability.
There is reason to hope that this will finally happen. It is up to every
librarian, publisher and paper consumer to insist that it does and to use
whatever influence we have to speed this process.
