Abstract
Librarians and archivists are concerned about book pages that become b rittle and disintegrate as a consequence of ageing. This has resulted in an increased demand for paper with good mechanical permanence, i.e. paper that retains its strength properties with ageing. This report r eviews the literature on the factors that affect the mechanical perman ence of paper.
