Please allow me to mention another resource for artists, art
historians, conservators, conservation scientists, curators, and
other interested people:  The Art Materials Information and
Education Network

    <URL:http://www.AMIEN.org>

is a part of the Education Department of the Intermuseum
Conservation Association (ICA)

    <URL:http://www.ica-artconservation.org>

The ICA is America's oldest regional art conservation laboratory.
AMIEN was founded to provide free, unbiased information about art
materials--we accept no advertising, do not promote or recommend
specific brands of art materials, and do not promote an art-making
aesthetic.  Access to the website is free, for reading amongst the
thousands of posts; readers who want to ask questions may register
as Members (free), and then may post (also free).

In 2009, there were more than 195,000 visits to AMIEN, and we
average 10 - 20 posted questions per day.  There are nearly 1,000
registered Members. I invite you to visit the site,

Mark Gottsegen
Administrator, AMIEN/Materials Research Director, ICA
