The Met's Department of Scientific Research is pleased to invite you to Materials Testing for Cultural Heritage Symposium to be held at The Met in New York City on Wednesday, November 6th, 2019, from 10 AM to 5 PM.
The symposium will cover recent developments in materials selection methods and both advanced and traditional materials testing tools. Many institutions continue to rely on the Oddy test while others utilize advanced analytical methodologies such as gas and liquid chromatography to assess materials. With several institutions utilizing volatiles analysis as a rapid tool for assessing materials to be used in the display, storage, or transport of art, we hope to cover the state of the art in our field and encourage discussion about what is needed to improve our ability to accurately evaluate this broad array of materials for those with and without advanced analytical capabilities. Please RSVP to Eric Breitung at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> to reserve a space. There will not be a registration fee, as support for this symposium was provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Program details and logistics will be shared with all attendees shortly. Please RSVP no later than Tuesday, August 1st, 2019. ****** Unsubscribe by sending a message to [email protected] Searchable archives: http://cool.conservation-us.org/byform/mailing-lists/cdl/
