protocols, as well as discussing implications of treatments on paper
and other media. The course will also review basic chemical
reactions involved in treatments. Case studies will also be
evaluated, and a variety of treatments will be executed by workshop
participants. The course, funded in part by the Kress Foundation,
will be limited to six conservators. Course fee: $ 225.
