This was the second ICS conference. Almost all of the papers from the plenary session "From science laboratory to conservation practice", both papers and poster abstracts from the three working sessions on "Developments in conservation practice", "Non-destructive testing" [and] "Paper, wood and other polymers" and posters on the theme of "Architecture" are published here. The 30 papers have all been peer reviewed. This volume provides a valuable overview of current research being carried out worldwide in conservation science."--Jacket.
