The Conference will be held February 15-16, 2012 on the campus of Northwestern University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. The program will feature two days of contributed papers and a poster session. We are soliciting oral and poster presentations that discuss topics which center on Folk and Outsider art conservation and preservation. These include treatments, applications, future development directions, and research. ]]> http://ncptt.nps.gov/divine-disorder/feed/ 8 http://ncptt.nps.gov/nms-producing-a-video-on-statue-conservation/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/nms-producing-a-video-on-statue-conservation/#comments Tue, 05 Jul 2011 21:05:01 +0000 Jeff Guin http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=11230 http://ncptt.nps.gov/nms-producing-a-video-on-statue-conservation/feed/ 0 http://ncptt.nps.gov/ornamental-iron-workshop-2011/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/ornamental-iron-workshop-2011/#comments Tue, 15 Feb 2011 17:59:25 +0000 Sean Clifford http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=10062 http://ncptt.nps.gov/ornamental-iron-workshop-2011/feed/ 2 http://ncptt.nps.gov/podcast-john-watson-on-the-philosophy-of-in-use-musical-instrument-conservation/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/podcast-john-watson-on-the-philosophy-of-in-use-musical-instrument-conservation/#comments Sun, 23 Jan 2011 16:49:03 +0000 Jeff Guin http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=9975 http://ncptt.nps.gov/podcast-john-watson-on-the-philosophy-of-in-use-musical-instrument-conservation/feed/ 1 http://ncptt.nps.gov/cemetery-conservation-techniques-st-augustine-fl/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/cemetery-conservation-techniques-st-augustine-fl/#comments Wed, 12 Jan 2011 22:19:07 +0000 Sean Clifford http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=9046

This multiday cemetery workshop will focus on a variety of cemetery materials and conservation treatments. This includes proper cleaning and consolidation techniques for stone grave markers, lime washing of build features, and simple repair techniques for stone. A small class of 15-20 will be comprised mostly of UF students in the historic preservation program and interested locals.]]> http://ncptt.nps.gov/cemetery-conservation-techniques-st-augustine-fl/feed/ 2 http://ncptt.nps.gov/2010-annual-report/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/2010-annual-report/#comments Wed, 20 Oct 2010 20:57:58 +0000 NCPTT http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=8478
NCPTT advances the application of science and technology to historic preservation.

Later improvement of the suspension procedure resulted in consolidants that are much more stable and fluid. Stone treated with the particle-modified consolidant (PMC) increases dramatically in stiffness and strength. Most impressively in a sodium sulfate test, the PMC provided better protection than a commercial silicate consolidant.]]> http://ncptt.nps.gov/improved-sol-gel-consolidants-for-stone-2002-24/feed/ 1 http://ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-field-school/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-field-school/#comments Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:02:18 +0000 NCPTT http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3836 http://ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-field-school/feed/ 2 http://ncptt.nps.gov/using-lasers-to-remove-graffiti-from-rock-art-and-rock-imagerypodcast-episode-7/ http://ncptt.nps.gov/using-lasers-to-remove-graffiti-from-rock-art-and-rock-imagerypodcast-episode-7/#comments Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:40:46 +0000 NCPTT http://ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3801
