Cultural Heritage Science Series Editors: K.J. van den Berg, A. Burnstock, K. Janssens, R. van Langh, J. Mass, A. Nevin, B. Lavedrine, B. Ormsby, M. Strlic The preservation and interpretation of our cultural heritage is one of the major challenges of today’s society. Cultural Heritage Science is a highly interdisciplinary book series covering all aspects of conservation, analysis and interpretation of artworks, objects and materials from our collective cultural heritage. The series focuses on science and conservation in three main fields • Art technology • Active conservation and restoration • Preventive conservation and risk management

The series addresses conservators and conservation scientists at museums, institutes, universities and heritage organizations. It also provides valuable information for curators and decision makers at museums and heritage organizations. Cultural Heritage Science comprises two subseries, one focusing on advanced methods and technology for conservation experts, the second presenting the latest developments in conservation science. All titles in the book series will be peer reviewed. Titles will be published as printed books and as eBooks, opening up the opportunity to include electronic supplementary material (videos, high-resolution figures, special data formats, and access to databases).
