Abstract
Currently approximately 80% of the hundreds of ancient papyrus, parchment, and ostracon fragments contained in the L. Tom Perry Special Collections of BYU’s Harold B. Lee Library have been successfully preserved by myself and the others who worked on this project with me, ensuring that these valuable pieces will survive in-tact for many more years in BYU’s collection. The remaining 20%, mostly consisting of very small fragments, will be preserved by us over the coming year.
