Abstract
A large number of our wooden heritage collectibles are subjected to be lost for many reasons, such as being stored or displayed in unsuitable environments, also being treated with harmful materials that decrease their historical value. This research aims to study some examples of wooden heritage collectibles and to apply simple treatment methods. Non-specialists can be able to use these methods to preserve their heritage collectibles (private collections) without needing any specialized laboratory. The selection of these wooden collectibles is based on the variety in their uses and in their aspects of damage. The results of this research indicate that there are many types of wood used in making these wooden collectibles. In spite of the variety of the damage aspects in these wooden collectibles, but the cracks and insects’ infestation damage were the most harmful and clear aspects. The type of insect that attacked the wood, and caused the largest number of tunnels were identified in this research. In The treatment processes of these wooden collectibles, we used some different cleaning methods (mechanical and chemical), warped wood reshaping, and consolidation methods. These methods and materials have been used in some previous researches that studied the conservation of wooden artifacts. The treatment processes used in this research helped in making appropriate conservation of the wooden collectibles.
