CCI Symposium 2011
presented in partnership with Library and Archives Canada
“Adhesives and Consolidants for Conservation:
Research and Applications”
Ottawa, October 17–22, 2011
Adhesives and consolidants are an important component of almost every conservation treatment. Symposium 2011 will bring together scientists and conservators from around the world to share their practical and theoretical knowledge about the use of adhesives and consolidants on historic objects. The program will include a mix of lectures, posters, tours, and workshops, and will provide ample opportunity for stimulating discussions. By the end of the symposium, participants will be better equipped to make informed decisions regarding the choice of adhesives and consolidants.
Call for Papers
The call for papers for Symposium 2011 will be issued in mid-2010, with abstracts due in September. Submissions will be solicited on topics such as:
