Research Abstract	The purpose of this study is to spread the usage of camellia oil to prevent rust on folklore collections (at museums). Camellia oil coating can be carried out safely and easily on a large number of folklore materials. To observe effects according to oil differences and time, test samples were set up in collection facilities with varying conditions. As a result, rust prevention was affected somewhat by differences in oil, while it depended more so on the preservation environment after treatment. Based on the results of this study, "Simple Conservation and Restoration Manual for Folklore Materials in Museums and Collection Facilities" was created.
