This two-day program will address issues and solutions for obtaining analytical results and material identification for conservators who do not have access to technical equipment or scientific expertise in their studios or laboratories.

This panel discussion will include presentations and discussion on the various models for offering analytical services as well as the pros/cons, ethical and logistical considerations for conducting this kind of research. Speakers will represent various aspects of the process of obtaining analytical services: finding appropriate laboratories, different types of companies/organizations/individuals offering these services, and understanding the issues and limitations of interpreting results. Audience participation will be encouraged with a moderated discussion following brief presentations.

The panel discussion will be a follow-up discussion to selection of tips and case studies presented on the first day of the program (Thursday, May 31: 12:00pm to 2pm)

The audience is not limited to conservators in private practice, but any individual or organization that does not have these resources. Topics include:
obtaining free and affordable technical analyses from labs and regional sources, accurate and affordable color-matching without a spectrometer, DIY Oddy testing and RTI, and using local medical facilities for radiography
