Printed on Paper: The Techniques, History and Conservation of Printed Media

Conference to be held at Newcastle Upon Tyne, England

September 5-7th, 2007

This conference will bring together a wide range of experience and 
expertise with a view to expanding the vocabulary of scholars and 
conservators on the broad subject of printed ink on paper. 
Professionals who study and care for printed media ? including 
conservators, curators, historians, and librarians ? are invited to 
attend.  This is the first international interdisciplinary conference 
focused on printed media - imagery and text, historic and modern.

Twenty-nine juried papers by curators, historians, librarians, 
archivists, conservators, and scientists will be presented over three 
days. Fifteen major U.S. institutions and nine international museums 
and universities are represented.  The topics include: printing on 
paper in Mexico, China and Europe; colonial printing in the Caribbean 
and Australia; prints by old masters (Dürer and Schongauer) and 
modern artists (Andy Warhol); printing on Fabriano papers; 
investigations of photomechanical printing techniques; laser jet and 
digital printing by contemporary artists; conservation case studies.

The conference is co-sponsored by the American Institute for 
Conservation and the University of Northumbria with support from the 
Print Council of America. It will take place at the internationally 
acclaimed Sage Gateshead, a building designed by Lord Norman Foster. 
Seating in the auditorium is limited to 300 people.

The conference proceedings will be published under the auspices of 
the University of Northumbria Press. The volume will be entitled 
Printed on Paper: The Techniques, History and Conservation of Printed 
Media and is scheduled for publication in the spring of 2008.
