Abstract
Historical textiles in Egyptian museums are exposed to many different forms of damage, such as biological, chemical, and physicochemical factors. They are also exposed to dirt and various stains. These factors cause damage to historical textiles, including changing the pH, weakening of historical textiles, and increasing fragility. Therefore, modern technology contributes to the maintenance and restoration of historical textiles, which helps in the sustainability of historical textiles in Egyptian museums. In this chapter, the role of various damage factors and their impact on historical Egyptian textiles will be clarified through the writer's practical experience, which spanned more than 20 years in the field of restoration and preservation of historical textiles. Practical experiences of using modern technology and its applications in the field of preserving historical Egyptian textiles will also be presented.
