Scheduled Presentations at the ISR Workshop on the Effects of Aging On Printing and Writing Papers

This is the same workshop referred to in the last issue as the "ISR Permanence Workshop," to be held in Philadelphia July 6-8. (ISR is the Institute for Standards Research, a part of ASTM.) All of the papers will be given on the first day. The other two days will be given over to discussion and planning a giant coordinated research program that will address the feasibility of permanence standards based on performance rather than on the materials (e.g., lignin) of which paper is made. In other words, the participants will be expected to work. It will be a real workshop, an international one at that.
