A pile of discoloured tape strips on the right, next to a piece of paper on the left with an orange residue stain.
A warning from the past: if there is anything you would like to preserve long-term in good condition, please don't stick tape on it!
As tape deteriorates, it can discolour, become brittle, lose its adhesive strength, and leave a residue stain.
Enough to give an archivist nightmares! π»
