I am currently conducting my thesis research on lining removal (delining) in oil painting conservation, particularly focusing on adhesive removal and related practical challenges. I would greatly appreciate your support in completing a short questionnaire (approximately 5–8 minutes): 👉 https://forms.gle/HENJy2aeTHgfyAkz5 <https://forms.gle/HENJy2aeTHgfyAkz5> The survey aims to gather real-world experiences, treatment approaches, and difficulties encountered during lining or adhesive removal processes. Your professional insights are extremely valuable and will contribute to a better understanding of current conservation practices and challenges in the field. Thank you very much for your time and generous support.🙇♀️ ------------------------------ yi-lun Wu student Tainan National University of the Arts Taoyuan City Taiwan ------------------------------ 2.From: Morwenna Blewett Posted: Saturday March 21, 2026 10:53 AM Subject: RE: Book Launch: Art Restoration Under the Nazi Regime: Revelation and Concealment.

Dear Ellen, Apologies for the delay in response; I needed to check with the organisers. I have their response now. The launch in the London venue is in-person only. The arrangements for the Oxford launch might include a recording which, if it takes place, will be made available later. There is no online event for either launch.

Book Launch: Art Restoration Under the Nazi Regime: Revelation and Concealment. This book is the first in-depth study of the restoration and conservation field in the National Socialist era. It presents a completely new perspective on the physical manipulation of fine, applied arts and other cultural property, under the regime from 1933 to post war in 1948. It investigates the motivations behind the participation of the conservation and restoration profession in this network of profit, crime, persecution and ideological broadcast. The book is being launched next month at two events (London and Oxford). All welcome. Please see the events below for registration and (free) ticketing.
