The Journal of Cultural Heritage (JCH) is a multidisciplinary journal of science and technology for studying problems concerning conservation and awareness of cultural heritage in a wide framework. The main purpose of JCH is to publish original papers which comprise previously unpublished data and present ticularly to topics covered in the International Refresher Course on Conservation of Architectural Heritage and Historic Structures (ARC), which are as follows: • DECAY MECHANISMS,DIAGNOSIS: guiding principles of materials science,external climatic risk factors, atmospheric pollution, humidity, bio-deterioration, investigation techniques Proudly serving Archives, Museums, Libraries, and Bookbinders with quality materials for bookbinding, archiving and art conservation.

Colloid and Materials Science for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage: Cleaning, Consolidation, and Deacidification materials for use either in their original physical form or in some other usable way, while conservation is one aspect of preservation activity as it implies the active use of preventive measures or processes to repair damaged materials and ensure continued existence of materials. cpwd.gov.in 1. What is meant by conservation and restoration in contemporary art The "Code" of cultural and environmental heritage states in Article 29, under the point on conservation that: 1. The conservation of cultural heritage is ensured by means of a coherent, co-ordinat-ed and programmed activity of study, prevention, maintenance and restoration. 2. as part of their central mission. Heritage Science for Conservation (HSC) at the Sheridan Libraries and Museums of Johns Hopkins University is the only such program based in an academic library that fully integrates the methodologies of conservation science so as to inform and support the work of practicing conservators. backgrounds (Science and Humanities) to gain skills and expertise on the advanced scientific methods used to study archaeological materials, the newly emerging field of Archaeometry, i.e. Science applied to Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Archaeology Chemistry Physics Earth Sciences Conservation Science Cultural Heritage Archaeometry Biology We would like to thank the following donors for their generous support of the recent replacement of a pyrolysis attachment. This equipment is an important component of the Conservation Science Lab's work. It is required for our binding medium and varnish analysis as well as for any of our materials testing for gallery or casework. materials merit is truly a portion of the University history. Deterioration of non-book library materials is not a new development. Regardless of the form or material, collectors and Librarians have always had the problem of preservation. In library, high-use library collections are materials whose demands are intense and 'Principles for the Preservation and Conservation of Library Materials' was Wrst published in the IFLA Journal, 5 (1979), pp. 292-300. This was revised and expanded by J. M. Dureau and D. W. G. Clements, from the IFLA Section on Conservation, and published by IFLA HQ in 1986 as Professional Report no. 8. 'Principles for the Preservation and Conservation of Library Materials' was Wrst published in the
