Introduction ered rough plastered wall finish clearly reveal the extensive use of wall covers. Despite the evidence, walls are still puttied and painted. The sterile modern finish leads to a false interpretation of local historic interiors, as well as limiting any further objective research. 19
Introduction CHOICE <strong>OF</strong> TOPIC The choice of the topic grew out of the troubling situation in Estonia and the everyday work of the author as a paper conservator specializing in the preservation of historic wallpapers. If a wallpaper has lost its aesthetic appearance or physical unity, a decision is often made to remove it from a wall and either preserve it in an archive or throw it away. However, museums and archives that store large numbers of fragile textile and wall covering samples are facing various challenges, for instance difficulties in storage and display. Archival objects need to be preserved carefully in controlled environments and they require considerable space if they are to be adequately displayed for the public. 8 In addition, the fragile nature of the objects make it very difficult to give the public visual access to the items in storage, especially when they are spread over different locations. 9 In Estonia, there is no museum or archive which houses wallpaper samples removed from their original locations. The Estonian History Museum has only a few examples of modern wallpapers produced in the 20th century and the above-mentioned French panoramic paper. A large number of historic wallpapers have been collected, or rather salvaged, by either conservation companies, conservators or common people. Such collections do not usually have any systematic order or proper storage conditions, and they are not easily accessible. The current situation has led the author to seek solutions to preserve more historic material in original locations, which will permit more detailed research, access for a wider public and appreciation of historic wallpapers as integral parts of interiors. Scientific articles dealing with the conservation of wallpaper mainly focus on a certain object, preservation concept or conservation method. No comparative approach on various options of preserving historic wallpapers in interiors has been written previously. 8 Julian J.
