Abstract The Ottoman Archives have one of the richest archive collections in the world.
However, not all the archived documents are well preserved and some undergo
biodeterioration. Therefore, a rapid and promising treatment method is necessary to
preserve the collection for following generations as heritage. Radiation presents as an
alternative for the treatment of archival materials for this purpose. In this study, we conducted
a survey to determine the contamination species and the D 10 values of the samples …
