Abstract
Abstract Objects made of dyed parchment are relatively rare in libraries and archives. When conservators dye parchment, they are essentially concerned with approximating the colour of the aged original material. Various methods are available today for dyeing parchment and other skin-based materials. This overview describes two methods in detail: staining with pastel chalk and dyeing with leather dye. Dyeing can be carried out before or after the application of an infill, the resulting advantages and disadvantages are briefly described. A look at the basis for decision for or against colour matching aims to motivate further discussion on this topic.
