This is the first time that the proceedings of the International Dunhuang Project's Conservation Conference have been co-published with the National Library of China, in an event which reflects the usefulness of the material in these papers to both eastern and western conservators. Contributors from around the globe report on developments in conservation techniques,and the articles are reproduced in both English and Chinese with a useful glossary of conservation terms and a bibliography. The papers in this volume address such issues as: Chinese scroll mounting; Curatorial debate on manuscript intervention; Bonds between Chinese and European papermaking; Painting techniques on silk thangkas; Digital conservation of Bezeklik cave through 3D modelling; Restoration of relics with touchable 3D modelling system; Paper analysis; Paintings on silk; and, Conservation of Ming dynasty materials.
