Abstract

Scientific examinations, digital technologies, and virtual heritage applications have the potential to save endangered and vulnerable heritage objects through early-stage detection and analysis of structural failures. This study provides a practical model for the use of scientific examinations and accurate documentation and its role in preserving and studying the historical textiles from different eras. First to provide historical information on the industrial materials that help in determining the origin and historical pieces, as well as in the dating of these historical pieces. Then to identify the manifestations of damage and their impact on the historical objects, which help in determining the preservation plan and selecting the suitable materials for restoration. The study uses the scanning electron microscope (SEM) to examine the surfaces of historic textiles, infrared (FTIR) to identify the chemical composition of historical materials, and X-ray diffraction to identify materials with a crystalline structure.
