Abstract

Documentation is considered one of the oldest scientific methodologies, and it is the first important step for preserving historical textiles, artifacts, and antiques. This step precedes other stages of restoration and thus must be done carefully. ‘Documentation' is the recording of all information and data related to heritage textiles, starting from the date of the antiquity, its artistic and historical importance, its dimensions, and the forms of decoration it contains, the different aspects of damage that the antiquity suffers from, and each of the elements of the antiquity, in order to refer to it when conducting the preservation process.
