CALL FOR PAPERS: “Plastics in peril: care and conservation of plastics
in museum collections”
University of Cambridge Museums is hosting a 2-day international meeting
on conservation of plastics on 16-17 March 2020, at the University of
Cambridge, UK. We warmly invite submissions for presentations and
posters on this subject.
The aim of the meeting is to provide a forum to discuss real-life
approaches to plastics in museums and share experiences that will be
useful to others with similar objects.
We particularly welcome proposals dealing with practical solutions for
conserving and caring for plastic heritage, including identification,
remedial treatments, preventive measures and management of whole
collections. We are also especially keen to hear from colleagues
working with plastic materials in scientific, industrial and social
history collections, including mass produced items.
Please submit your abstract of no more than 500 words to Sophie Rowe at
fmclc...@cam.ac.uk by 30th September 2019.
