Understanding the science of preservation

NATIONAL PRESERVATION OFFICE
ANNUAL CONFERENCE
British Library Conference Centre, 10 October 2006

Good practice and innovation in preservation and conservation often originate in scientific research which helps us to understand materials and the ways they interact with their environment. This conference describes some recent research themes and explains how the results are translated into practical ways of caring for collections. Speakers from the UK, Europe and the United States will explain how innovation in conservation science can change the way we work or provide evidence to support strategic developments in caring for collections.
