Subject: Analytical laboratories
Many preservation projects would greatly benefit from analyses of the materials from the object, monument, or building. It is however frequently very difficult to find an analytical laboratory, that is capable and willing to undertake the kinds of analyses we frequently require, within the often limited time frame, and budgetary constraints. The National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT) has asked us to compile a listing of laboratories (non-profit, university, and commercial) in the U.S., that have provided, or could provide analytical support to historic preservation (not research). If you have had samples analyzed in the past we would greatly appreciate information about the laboratory or laboratories you have been working with. It would also be important to know, who did the data interpretation. Any personal information you provide will be kept strictly confidential. Please reply directly to fdp [at] aol__com, not to the list. We will provide a summary of the responses at the end of the project. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Frank D.
