A brief account of the purpose of the meeting:
The intent was to go behind research results in photographic
conservation and discuss methods used for research, why they
are used and how the results change thinking about preservation.
We also discussed what research needs to be done. The participants left the
meeting with a renewed respect for the possibilities and limitations of a
variety of investigation techniques. All contributions to the meeting are
published in English in the proceedings.
