Abstract. The investigation of the material’s properties of the patrimony objects is necessary to understand both the reaction of the objects to the environment in order to create the optimal conditions to preserve them and to act on the objects in order to decrease the degradation. Fractal geometry offers a new approach to describing the structure of different irregular objects, fractal design principles occurring in a very large number of phenomena. In order to identify the specific properties of some kind of materials (leather, paper, linen), from organic book cover, the fractal analysis was used in this work.
