Resumo

Foram efetuados levantamentos sobre a ocorrência de manchas de foxing em papéis de 1560 a 1975 em três acervos nacionais. Observou-se, em cada um dos espólios, que certos períodos de tempo apresentavam um surgimento mais intenso e intrusivo dessas manchas. Com base em informação histórica e na experiência profissional na área da conservação de papel, os autores relacionaram este facto com novas tecnologias e materiais usados no processo de produção de papel a partir do último quartel do século XVIII e, particularmente, com a possibilidade de existência de um efeito sinergético entre a diminuição de qualidade ou falha de uniformização da encolagem de gelatina, a presença de novos procedimentos ou aditivos ricos em impurezas contendo iões ferro e uma sorbência irregular de humidade na folha. Também verificaram, através de imagens fotográficas com diferentes incidências e tipos de radiação, que grupos de papéis morfologicamente semelhantes apresentam manchas de foxing também semelhantes.
