Experts in the field of Asian art uniformly recommend that preservation
efforts be grounded in knowledge of the history and traditions embedded
within the objects. Participants in this two-day conference will learn
distinct historical and aesthetic differences that inform the rich
artistic traditions of China, Japan, and Korea, as well as the practical
concerns of handling, housing, storage, exhibition and conservation
treatment of paper-based objects from this region.

* Japanese Prints, Scrolls, and Screens
* Historical Context for Chinese Art & Artifacts
* Paper-based Art & Artifacts of Korea

* Display, Storage, & Handling of Mounted Materials: Scrolls, Screens,
and Albums

This program is intended for cultural heritage professionals responsible
for the care and handling of paper-based art and artifacts from East
Asia, including curators, collections managers, librarians, archivists
and conservators, as well as collectors and others interested in the
history and care of works from this region.
