Reminder-Update: Conservation Science Annual, Nov 15-17

  • 1.  Reminder-Update: Conservation Science Annual, Nov 15-17

    Posted 07-13-2016 05:42 PM
    Reminder:

    On November 15 and 16, 2016, the New York Conservation Fdn,  the Eastern Analytical Symposium, and distinguished innovative scientists in heritage collections conservation research, development and applications in coatings or in microfadeometry, will present the 2016 (our 22nd!) Conservation Science Annual sessions at EAS on analytical science in cultural heritage.

    Update:

    See the CSA at EAS  schedule, last below.

    If interest justifies--please contact me ASAP at < nyconsnfdn@aol.com > if you might register--NYCF and the New York Microscopical Society may independently produce an experts-led one day     microfadeometry workshop on November 17 in Manhattan, NYC. Our 2015 post-CSA expert-led multispectral imaging workshop was a well subscribed success.

    Poster abstracts for the CSA are welcome through September 12, 2016, on any topic in science or technology for cultural heritage, of course  including posters related to microfade or coatings     technologies. See the EAS call for papers at:

    http://easinc.org/wordpress/?page_id=3083

    Submit your poster abstract via the EAS  submissions portal, at:

    http://www.eas.org/asubmit/

    For registration, and details of the rich EAS Program of symposia, poster sessions, and short courses, monitor links at:

    www.eas.org

    Please feel free to contact me with questions     and comments, including suggesting themes for future CSAs.

    See you in November!

    Collegially
