北京大学图书馆馆藏家谱修复的科学实践

Scientific Practice of Genealogical Restoration in Peking University Library

北京大学图书馆馆藏有丰富的家谱,其中善本家谱达200余种,1 000余册。由于家谱内容的独特性,多限于家族流传,其刻印数量一般都不大,有的甚至未经刻印。同时,大多现存家谱受流传中保存环境影响存在着各种待修复的问题。针对家谱载体材料进行科学的检测,包括对纸张纤维、纸张酸碱度和红外光谱及结晶度检测是现代古籍修复技术的科学实践,可以为修复方案提供科学依据。此文结合修复实例,总结经验,为古籍修复工作提供借鉴参考。

Peking University Library has a rich collections of family genealogies,including more than 200 kinds of rare books and more than 1,000 items.Due to the uniqueness of the contents,it is mostly limited to family circulation.The number of engravings is generally small,and some are not even engraved.At the same time,most of the existing genealogies are affected by the preservation environment,and there are various problems in restoration.Scientific testing of genealogical carrier materials,including paper fiber,paper pH and infrared spectroscopy and crystallinity detection,is the scientific practice of modern ancient book restoration technology,which can provide scientific basis for restoration programs.This article summarizes the restoration experiences based on practical cases,in order to provide reference for ancient book restoration.
