Lime outdoors, lime indoors: the virtue of water retentiveness
Authors: Zacharopoulou, Georgia
Type: Conference proceeding
Published: 2005

<blockquote>
<p>This paper focuses on the – supposedly redundant in modern construction – maturing process<br>of various types of slaked lime and its influence in their quality. For years aging escaped<br>scientists’ attention, as it is not demonstrated by a chemical equation. The main obstacle,<br>however, seems to have been the predominant model of construction, which promotes dry<br>binders. According to current knowledge, the maturing process generates changes in the<br>morphological and physical properties of lime. Parameters such as settled water, free water,<br>available lime, lime consistency and water retentiveness of various laboratory-prepared<br>slaked lime putties were systematically tested. Some of the most significant data are presented<br>here and the importance of the binder’s water retentiveness is highlighted, regarding the use<br>of lime in construction both outdoors and indoors. Lime putty is an excellent binder for use in<br>conservation practice, with a predictable lifetime expectation.</p>

Permanent Pixels. Building blocks for the longevity of digital surrogates of historical photographs
Authors: van Horik, René
Type: Thesis
Published: 2005-11-01

<p>This book is about the longevity of digital surrogates of historical photographs. The preservation of digital photos is considered in the context of long-term access to digital objects in general. There is a general view among archivists, librarians and museum professionals that analogue originals and their digital counterparts are closely related. The features of a digital surrogate, such as a scanned historical photograph, are based on an assessment of the analogue original as well as the intended function of the digital surrogate, also in the long term. This gives the digital objects to be preserved a very specific character that justifies the scope of this research on the longevity of a specific digital data object. The focus on the longevity of digital surrogates of historical photographs enables the investigation of available building blocks for digital preservation such as guidelines, procedures, tools, standards, strategies and methods to enable long-term access to digital data objects. This study examines in detail the role of digital preservation strategies, file format standards, content format standards, metadata schemas and other building blocks for the realisation of durable digital surrogates of historical photographs.</p>
