Conservation

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / DISTRIBUTION / PLEASE POST  

Mobile Analytics for Heritage Conservation: the 2008 Conservation Science  
Annual, November 17-18, 2008, Somerset, New Jersey, USA

Instruments for analysis and study of art and other cultural heritage  
structures and materials are continually becoming smaller, more portable, less  
costly, and easier to use.  This trend is driving  enhanced  practices in 
conservation science and in conservation examination and  treatment, not only in fixed 
facilities but also in field collection and  analysis of data, and other 
mobile services.  

To broaden awareness of mobile analytics, the New York Conservation  
Foundation is producing our fifteenth Conservation Science Annual. The CSA  comprises 
at least four half-day sessions of Powerpoint style presentations  and posters 
from colleagues actively researching and applying mobile  analytical methods 
and technology in heritage conservation. Again we are  producing our CSA in 
cooperation with the Eastern Analytical Symposium, an  international meeting of 
analytical science and technology conducted annually  in New Jersey, USA.
