In the world of architectural practice, architectural conservation is considered to be a minor specialty. Within the world of architectural conservation, paint research is a minor specialty. There are precious few of us with the requisite skills and experience to accurately discover the information which can be gleaned through the examination of historic paint.This book is a set of papers presented at an international conference on this topic. Although these papers strongly reflect the European background of the participants, they provide excellent insights into the field. Not all of us have the clientele of the writers of the papers nor do all of us have the luxury of indulging in the technology which can be very helpful for answering various questions. However, all shared various aspects of their professional experience in the field and, as such, served to further develop both the principles and the practice of architectural paint research. This an essential book for any and all who are interested in this specialty.
