“…They a combination of the known preservation techniques and the new technology. Some of the most representative examples are the Charters of Freedom [8], the Carta Magna whose procedure to protect it was documented in [9], the mummies of Egypt [10], the original documents of the constitution of India [11] and the encasement for The Waldseemuller world map [12].…”

Application of comparative design study in the development of preservation encasements for historical documentsThe preservation of historical documents is a task that requires a multidisciplinary team. Mechanical engineering can make valuable contributions. Historical documents made of paper have unique characteristics that must be considered for their preservation and exhibition. Specially designed encasements have emerged as a solution to meet these requirements. In the present research, a comparative design study was carried out. The study comprises identifying the main functions of the encasements. Subsequently, it is analyzed how the capsules that appear in the literature have solved these functions. With the information obtained, three new encasements were designed for historical documents in Mexico. From the results and design experiences, some insights and design principles were obtained; these can be universally applied.
