If you have a diploma that is fairly old, it could be made with sheepskin or parchment. Therefore, you must learn about preserving and framing a sheepskin diploma for long-term care.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Sheepskin?<\/h2>\n<p>Parchment is a thin material that\u2019s made from sheepskin, calfskin, or goatskin. It\u2019s stretched, scraped, and dried under tension to create a stiff white, yellowish, or translucent animal skin. The finest and highest-quality parchments are called vellum.<\/p>\n<p>A sheepskin document has a sheen that\u2019s greater than the polish on typical print and frame matte document paper. Sheepskin tends to be more translucent, so it&#8217;s prone to slight buckling. It also has more noticeable waves than what is seen with paper documents. Buckling may occur in sheepskin diplomas and is considered normal when exposed to changes in humidity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0a8edd6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0a8edd6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2a3dba6\" data-id=\"2a3dba6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6be8949 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6be8949\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/sheepskin-paper-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16787\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/sheepskin-paper-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/sheepskin-paper-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/sheepskin-paper-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/sheepskin-paper-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/sheepskin-paper.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5ebf1d2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5ebf1d2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-179c69d\" data-id=\"179c69d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4098139 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4098139\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>How to Care for Sheepskin Documents<\/h2><ol><li><strong>Store in a cool, dry place before framin<\/strong>g: Sheepskin documents are sensitive to temperature and humidity. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat sources.<\/li><li><strong>Handle with care<\/strong>: When handling sheepskin papers, be gentle and use clean hands. Avoid touching the surface of the paper as much as possible, as the oils from your fingers can leave stains.<\/li><li><strong>Clean with a soft brush<\/strong>: To remove dust or debris, use a soft-bristled brush or a clean, dry cloth to gently brush the surface of the paper.<\/li><li><strong>Avoid water and chemicals<\/strong>: Do not use water or any cleaning chemicals on sheepskin papers, as they can damage the surface and cause discoloration.<\/li><li><strong>Frame for protection<\/strong>: If you want to display your sheepskin paper, frame it using acid-free, archival-quality materials. This will protect the paper from damage and prevent it from fading over time.<\/li><\/ol><p>By following these tips, you can ensure that your sheepskin papers remain in good condition for years to come.<\/p><h2>Frame Mounting Methods<\/h2><p>When it comes to framing, it\u2019s essential to use archival mounting materials recommended for sheepskin. Mounting a document to keep it permanently flat by using heat or adhesive methods is not recommended.<\/p><p>Many mounting procedures are irreversible, non-archival, and can cause discoloration or damage over time. In the case of sheepskin or parchment, <strong>do not try to iron it flat<\/strong>. The sheepskin can curl, melt, and be easily be destroyed by heat.<\/p><p>Documents, certificates, and diplomas made from sheepskin should be treated delicately. They require conservation-quality backing board and mounting materials that are acid-free, lignin-free, and reversible. Two museum mounting methods exist for sheepskin diplomas. One includes professional hinging with wheat starch. And the other is traditional Japanese paper on lignin-free 4-ply board with application of archival corner pockets and\/or mounting strips.<\/p><p>The document should be given room for natural expansion in response to humidity and natural temperature changes. Slight buckling of the skin from natural atmospheric and humidity changes is considered normal for valuable documents.<\/p><p>If the sheepskin has been rolled and stored in a small tube, an experienced framing professional may use heat mounting. It\u2019s done on a lower temperature setting with archival tissue that is reversible with heat. But this should only be done by a professional conservation specialist to avoid damage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9a1d7c2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9a1d7c2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d3d4d74\" data-id=\"d3d4d74\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5da367 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f5da367\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/rice-university-frames-in-waiting-room-1024x512.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16786\" alt=\"two rice university diploma frames in waiting room\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/rice-university-frames-in-waiting-room-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/rice-university-frames-in-waiting-room-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/rice-university-frames-in-waiting-room-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/rice-university-frames-in-waiting-room-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/i.diplomaframe.com\/chc-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/rice-university-frames-in-waiting-room.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6107734 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6107734\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9c87379\" data-id=\"9c87379\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3762009 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3762009\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In framing a sheepskin document, it\u2019s important that a conservation-quality window mat be used to keep the edges of the skin from curling up and touching the glass.
