The Library of Congress presents the following lecture: In Situ Studies of Tidelines on Paper
Monday, December 4, 2017 1:30 - 2:30 pm EST Library of Congress James Madison Memorial Building Pickford Theater, Third Floor Room 302 101 Independence Ave SE Washington, DC 20540 Accessibility Request ADA accommodations at least five business days in advance at (202) 707-6362 or [email protected]. About the Lecture Tidelines, or staining produced by wetting, mar the appearance of and weaken paper, which predisposes the paper to further damage. This talk will highlight findings from research that utilizes existing technologies to improve our understanding of tidelines on historical documents, books, and artworks on paper. This collaboration of Dartmouth College, the Library of Congress, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art is part of an effort to identify non-invasive techniques to study tidelines that will inform treatment methodologies for artifacts damaged by water ingress. Research funded by the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT). Speaker Rachel Obbard, Ph.D., Assistant Research Professor, Dartmouth College Co-Authors Jing Ting Zhang, Dartmouth College Lynn Brostoff, Ph.D., Research Chemist, Preservation Research and Testing Division, Library of Congress Silvia Centeno, Ph.D., Scientific Research Department, Metropolitan Museum of Art For more information: http://www.loc.gov/preservation/outreach/tops/obbard/index.html Note: The lecture will not be webcast live, but will be available later as an on-demand video from the Library's webcasts page ****** Unsubscribe by sending a message to [email protected] Searchable archives: http://cool.conservation-us.org/byform/mailing-lists/cdl/
