Below is a definition from "Preserving Family Keepsakes Do's and Don'ts", Ilene Chandler Miller, 1996:

"Any paper that contains an alkaline (pH higher than 7 or an absence of acid) base and is often lignin-free."

Acid Transfer: The act of acid migrating from one object or item to another.  See Also Archival webpage.
