UD

= University of Denver Pre-conservation program =
The University of Denver is one of a few universities in the country to offer pre-conservation, a program intended to prepare the student to enter one of the highly competitive graduate programs in art conservation and eventually to become an art conservator. Conservators preserve works of art and architecture throughout the world, working in conservation centers, art museums or private practice. The program is offered in cooperation with the conservation department of the Denver Art Museum.

UPenn Historic Preservation

= University of Pennsylvania Graduate Program in Historic Preservation =
"In 1981, the Graduate Program in Historic Preservation at the University of Pennsylvania was established in response to the rising need to provide a truly integrated curriculum of advanced study for architects, landscape architects, planners, conservators, historians, archaeologists, curators, managers, and other preservation practitioners interested in professional careers in building and site conservation and cultural resource management.The program provides students with a foundation in history, theory, technology, and praxis, with additional courses selected to structure an area of emphasis within the field of preservation.These areas are Building and Material Conservation, and Cultural Heritage Management, and may be pursued for the two-year Master of Science degree and one-year Certificate. ... The two emphases of the program encompass a broad range of career options focused on historic monuments and sites, house museums and collections, cultural landscapes, archaeological sites, and urban and regional areas. An Advanced Certificate in Architectural Conservation provides an additional opportunity for those who have completed the Master of Science degree with an emphasis in technology." (from website)

UV/Vis spectroscopy

== Description ==
The ultraviolet-visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is most commonly studied covers the wavelength range from 200 to 700 nm. The energy of this wavelength range of light causes electronic transitions in molecules and depends on whether transitions involve nonbonding or bonding (π or π*) electrons. The position of absorption of the radiation depends on the degree of conjugation and the nature of substituents on the molecules. In conservation science, this technique is most useful for the identification of dyestuffs through solution spectroscopy.

UVC

== Description ==
A rarely used acronym for ultraviolet content coined by G. Thomson (1967). UVC is defined as the ratio of the intensity of UV radiation divided by the illumination value. Currently the amounts of UV radiation is usually spedified in microwatts per lumen. To convert UVC values to microwatts per lumen multiply by 16.

Ukiyo-e Print Colorant Database

__NOTOC__
PLEASE NOTE:: This database is still in a DRAFT state. We are in the process of adding and correcting information
Since 2002, the MFA’s Asian Conservation Studio and Scientific Research Laboratory has been conducting research into the colorants used in Japanese woodblock prints, or ukiyo-e prints from the Edo period (1603–1868). Non-invasive techniques that do not require sampling from the prints have been used: X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), Excitation Emission Matrix (EEM) and Fiber Optic Reflectance (FORS) spectroscopies. 
This Ukiyo-e Print Colorant Database is an effort to begin collating the analytical results of colorants into one location that is accessible to all researchers. It currently focuses on prints from the MFA’s collection from the early 1700s to the mid-1800s. It does not yet cover the whole breadth of colorants used, such as the aniline-based colorants, but we plan to continue to expand the database. Thus far, over 100 prints have been analyzed and the uploading of data is ongoing.

=== Bibliography===
A list of publications and resources on the identification of colorants in Japanese woodblock prints.
=== About the Collection ===
The MFA has over 50,000 Japanese prints and approximately 3,000 titles of illustrated books covering the Edo period (1603–1868) to the present. The Japanese woodblock print collection spans the Edo period from its birth to color printing to its height as a commercial product and to its end in the Meiji period (1868–1912). This collection represents not only the breadth of artists working at the time but also multiple impressions and editions, making it a comprehensive resource for scholarship, research, and teaching. Collections from prominent Bostonians such as William Sturgis Bigelow, Denman Ross, and the Spaulding brothers at the turn of the century form the basis of the collection. Furthermore, the William S. and John T. Spaulding Collection,​ which is comprised of over 6,000 prints, is available to researchers and educators as an important study collection. Because the Spaulding Collection is not exhibited, these prints generally display remarkable preservation of the colorants making it a valuable benchmark for the study of color and palette.
==== Acknowledgement ====
The colorant research comes out of a long collaboration between the Asian Conservation Studio and Scientific Research Laboratory. We would like to thank the many volunteers who contributed to this research. We are also grateful to Richard and JoAnn Pinkowitz for donating to this database project which allowed us to bring the Ukiyo-e Print Colorant Database online.
