The program committee thanks for the many original contributions - we will contact those who sent an abstract in the coming days.

Topics will be:
MICROORGANISMS
- of the use of biocides & disinfection,
- “the use of biocides and the monitoring of the effects on materials” (The topics can also include the
possibility of launching a sort of web archive of data on treated collections and objects and on the best
methods that can be used in monitoring (i.e. colour coordinates, pH, etc.).
BOOKBINDING
- safe keeping assessment and database description of old manuscripts and
their bookbindings. Topics may also include how our knowledge of the bookbinding structures and our
appreciation of their historic (but also artistic) values conditions and guides our approach to their
conservation and at the same time how the conservation of bookbindings actually enhances and
improves our understanding of historic bookbinding structures. Through conservation a very privileged
insight can be gained into the structures and techniques that would otherwise remain unnoticed.
- document safe keeping assessment and database description of old manuscripts and their bookbindings
- methods of investigations and related to them, practical issues of assessing the real physical state of
manuscript and archive collections?
DIGITISATION
- Safeguarding of electronic data - The storage strategies of digitised images (from books, documents, photographs, all cultural historic paper heritage) - importance of digitisation in the preservation of originals
- conservation of born digital archives, and even the very digital databases that every library, museum and archive are producing
