Congratulations to our amazing final session speakers! We made it! #MakingConservation, the 2019 AICCM National Conference is at a close. And though we always think every conference is the best conference ever, but this was the BEST CONFERENCE EVER! Massive thanks and congrats!
Overall top performers were ASA, PLA and Nylon 12, but there are still a lot of unknowns... we can't wait to see the full results of Evan's research and his PhD soon! #MakingConservation #3DPrinting
Even if we're just sticking to polymer 3D printing, there are lots of different plastic types in use, and three main types of polymer printing: Fused deposition modeling, PolyJet and Powder based, all of which use a variety of different printing mediums! #MakingConservation
Evan was looking specifically at the use of 3D printing in conservation: how will they survive the museum environment? What's the most stable material? How should it be displayed? Lots of gaps in our knowledge! #MakingConservation #3DPrinting
Danielle Measday and Rosemary Goodall are now presenting on all the places they've found #mercury in their collection... in paint, thermometers, hats, natural history specimens and mineral collections and mercury always gives off vapor you can't see! Eeek! #MakingConservation
Technical obsolescence is a big challenge facing magnetic and optical carriers (cassette tapes, cassette videos, open reel tapes etc.) of course, but in examining archives Cancy was also surprised how many plastics were associated with paper objects too! #MakingConservation
So many places that plastics occur in archives, and many of them are malignant and inherently unstable π±!!! #Polymers #MakingConservation
So far, 262 objects have been migrated into the OHRM, 27 #polymer types have been identified & Julianne is showing a visualisationof the more than 4000 connections and tells the story of the collection of the data... capturing growing knowledge networks #MakingConservation
Made it to the last session of the @AICCM_OZ #MakingConservation conference and we're kicking off with Julianne Bell talking about creating the Polymuse database. Check out the wider Polymuse Project here: https://t.co/4MdF9fyQ0C
A brilliant talk by Rosemary Goodall about pharmaceutical collections. Love a good bit of H&S one of my geek out areas. #MakingConservation
Rosemary Goodall is our next lightening talk, and she's sharing her experiences identifying and housing a pharmaceutical collection... they found around 370 items that needed housing under schedule or dangerous goods codes #MakingConservation
Celia Cramer is next up and her presentation is looking at how we can use spectroscopy to give context to natural history specimens... there's so much missing information about where specimens were collected, which is crucial information! #MakingConservation
Following on from the AGM MaryJo and Ainslee up to talk about the new @AICCM_OZ Sustainable Collections Wiki that is being developed. #MakingConservation
Floriana used neutron imaging to investigate the katanas, which requires the use of a nuclear reactor! Luckily they were able to use one at the OPAL Research Reactor. The resulting images of various heritage objects are incredibly impressive, we all want a go! #MakingConservation
Sue Gattenby and Floriana Salvemini are now presenting on non-invasive neutron imaging for the structural chracterisation of ancient Japanese katana swords! Famous for being flexible, strong, the forging process involved folding steel at least 50 times #MakingConservation
Carl Villis and Deborah Lau are now presenting Made in Melbourne: The development of MS3, a new generation reduced ketone varnish resin, a successor to the much missed MS2A! #MakingConservation
Determining the deterioration level is difficult with cellulose nitrate, but they found the samples separated at band 843, Elizabeth proposes that this might be a method for determining deterioration levels? Exciting stuff! #MakingConservation
Staphany Cheng giving a very interesting talk about the use of nanotechnology with textiles. At present more testing is needed and need to think about costs. Love seeing a New Zealander presenting, fingers crossed sheβll head home after her fellowship #MakingConservation
Elizabeth Ann Carter is next up! Cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate are very problematic in collections, not least because they can catch fire! Identifying them has been a big challenge, but could vibrational spectroscopy be used for the task? #MakingConservation
Candice Cranmer from ACMI is now giving a lightening talk! In the new ACMI there will be a glass-fronted conservation space that will make their work visible to visitors, and sometimes the space will be open to visitors too! #MakingConservation
