apologies for any cross-posting 24-25 March 2003 Preservation & Conservation Issues Related to Digital Printing & Photography Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh Part of The Physics Congress 2003 A two-day conference for conservators of printed material, photography and textiles This two-day conference, organised by the Printing, Papermaking and Packaging Group of the Institute of Physics, is a successor to the international conference on the same subject held at the Institute of Physics in October 2000 and will examine progress in research on inks, substrates and processes used for producing digital prints and photographs for archival storage. As well as digitally printed materials from the world of fine arts, the growth of digital photography is now introducing new media into the archival system. The aims of the conference are to inform those responsible for the preservation of digitally printed material about developments in digital photography and printing technologies, the progress in research on inks and substrates and their significance for conservation and preservation issues. As with the last conference, our aim is also to develop links between industry and the preservation world.
