abstract = {Research in the field of cultural heritage has grown due to the need to preserve cultural assets that serve as witnesses to history and culture. In conservation and restoration, research
on traditional papers is extensive, but translucent papers have received less attention. These
documents, of proteinaceous, cellulosic, or synthetic origin, achieve transparency through
processes that modify their structure, which makes them more vulnerable to aging. Their
degradation is aggravated by inadequate storage and handling, posing challenges because
they do not respond well to conventional treatments. This study analyzes these issues
using documents from the late nineteenth and primarily the twentieth century, sourced
from the Provincial Historical Archive of Granada and the Archive of the Higher Technical School of Architecture in Granada. Through visual, photographic, and bibliographic
study, a theoretical and graphic catalogue of the most significant deteriorations has been
developed. Concurrently, a physicochemical analysis was applied using techniques such
as colorimetry, X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF), and Fourier-Transform Infrared
Spectroscopy (FTIR). These tools make it possible to relate the material composition of the
documents to their state of preservation. This work provides deeper knowledge about the
degradation mechanisms of these supports and lays the foundations for the development
of specific restoration strategies for this documentary typology.},
