This bachelor thesis discusses firefighting and the use of portable fireextinguishers in the salvageof historic artefacts focusing on Textiles. It also looks into the use of multi-purpose dry chemicalextinguishers in a textile context and the impact the actual dry-agent has on Textiles afterfirefighting.Literature studies, interviews and tests on different Textiles were carried out to write this thesis.During the tests Textiles were exposed to the dry agent and also to dry agent plus water toinvestigate the difference in residue. After vacuumcleaning it was clear that when the textile wasexposed to dry agent and water it was almost impossible to remove the chemical without rinsingin water.By examining the residue left on the textile using SEM it was possible to see if a textile was aswell decontaminated after vacuum-cleaning as it looks to the eye. We know that the dry agentoften consists of ammonium phosphate which acts corrosively on many materials and one canassume it damages Textiles as well after longer exposure.Buildings housing cultural collections are vulnerable as we cannot easily replace ruined materialwith new.

This paper addresses the need to review the modern presentation of textile archaeology in museums. It is time to look at Textiles in archaeology with new eyes. The reality behind archaeological Textilestudy is holistic, embracing many different aspects of society. The presentation of Textiles has in my opinion become old-fashioned. I will show in my paper that Jonathan Adams? `seven constraints´ model, developed for research on ancient ships, can also be applied to textile research.

This essay is about the Swedish textile heritage but also with an analysis of handmade hemp Textiles from Transylvania. Plant fibers such as hemp and flax grown in a soil nature that existed around the subsistence farm. The knowledge of the earth nature combined with Textiles has not been specifically studied in the research from the last century. By examining simple folk Textiles of hemp shows how the Textiles also are an universal field. The focus is on the raw material which is a transformation between nature and culture.With a phenomenological approach, the study will describe how the textile heritage announcement molds a territory in the interpretation of "our" Swedish plantfibres for Textiles uses.
