This thesis was completed in co-tutoring between the Università degli Studi di Torino (Dipartimento di Chimica IFM), and the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle of Paris (Centre de Recherche sur la Conservation des Documents Graphiques) supported by the Université Italo-Française. Its aim was to reach a better understanding of the processes damaging parchments through the study of the effect of environmental deterioration factors. This thesis was carried out within the compass of the European IDAP project (Improved Damage Assessment of Parchments). Deterioration of collagen, by far the main component of parchment, was studied in the first part of the work by measuring the changes in its thermal stability. Both DSC analysis of collagen ther...
