Abstract
Mediante un trabajo interdisciplinario y colaborativo entre la Universidad de Costa Rica y el Archivo Nacional de Costa Rica, fue posible conocer el estado del deterioro del Acta de la Independencia de Costa Rica, sus características físicas y composición química, lo cual permitió proponer y hacer realidad un protocolo de limpieza y conservación. Esto en el marco de la celebración de los 200 años de vida independiente.
ABSTRACT
Through an interdisciplinary and collaborative work between the University of Costa Rica and the National Archive of Costa Rica, it was possible to know the state of deterioration of the Act of Independence of Costa Rica, its physical characteristics and chemical composition, which allowed to propose and make a reality a cleaning and conservation protocol. This in the framework of the celebration of 200 years of independent life.
