It’s usually assumed that damage caused by vinegar syndrome cannot be reversed. It can only be slowed down by ensuring the affected materials are properly treated and stored in suitable conditions.Research has shown that vinegar syndrome can be stopped in certain cases, depending on the level of decay. See http://www.slideshare.net/fiatifta/permanent-refreshment-of-acetate-media-a-story-about-passion-on-innovation-noa-nadja-wallaszkovits Affected materials also need to be stored separately, to prevent other carriers with an acetate base from also being affected. It is recommended to copy the content stored on the affected material to a new carrier, or to digitise it, to ensure it does not become lost. This is why VIAA wants to prioritise materials affected by vinegar syndrome when digitising the inventoried film content.
