Publications sought

I am in the last year of studies in Restoration of Art Made on
Paper, in Belgium. As a final thesis of my studies I have chosen the
Restoration of a Japanese screen. I am having problems finding some
publications related to the restoration of Japanese screens. I found
some interesting references in the Conservation Information Network,
but I could not contact the institutes that hold these publications
(the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and
Restoration of Cultural Property, in Rome, and the Smithsonian
Centre for Materials Research and Education). Is there anybody who
could tell me where and how I could get them? Also, I am looking
forward to contact persons who have already some experience on
restoring oriental screens to get advice and discuss different
treatment possibilities.

The publications I am looking for are:
