Inks and paper are the main materials and components of library and archive collections. Since the beginning of paper and ink production empirical recipes have been followed, but in the 19th century with the transformation of Europe during the Industrial Revolution, the continent became the main leader for the discovery of new products and new industrial production processes. The aim of this study is to shed light on paper and ink production processes during this key historical period. In this study we have chosen some documents preserved in the archive of the Soprintendenza dei Beni Architettonici e Paesaggistici (B.A.P.) di Venezia e Laguna, held in the Palazzo Ducale (Ducal Palace) of Venice. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FT-IR), and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) allowed us to obtain a qualitative and quantitative characterization of the organic and inorganic components in both paper and inks. Cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) were employed for statistical analysis of the results.
油墨和纸张是图书馆和档案馆藏品的主要材料和组成部分。自纸张和油墨生产之初就一直遵循经验配方，但在19世纪，随着欧洲在工业革命期间的变革，该大陆成为发现新产品和新工业生产工艺的主要领导者。本研究的目的是揭示这一关键历史时期的纸张和油墨生产工艺。在本研究中，我们选择了保存在威尼斯公爵宫（总督府）的威尼斯和拉古纳建筑与景观遗产管理局（B.A.P.）档案馆中的一些文件。衰减全反射傅里叶变换红外光谱（ATR-FT-IR）和电感耦合等离子体质谱（ICP-MS）使我们能够对纸张和油墨中的有机和无机成分进行定性和定量表征。聚类分析和主成分分析（PCA）被用于对结果进行统计分析。
