According to the report, in 2019, Japanese experts carried out a survey on 23 decrees at VNMH. There were 16 decrees (17th - 20th centuries) selected to preserveand restore based on their condition and value. Due to the impact of Covid-19 epidemic, this project has now been restarted and divided into 2 phases in 2023 and 2024 with 8 decrees each year.
Before carrying out the restoration process, Japanese experts surveyed and researched the characteristics of paper used for decree. Thanks to that, it is possible to make paper suitable for restoration.
