Presentation of Tools Helping to Set a Preservation Target for Displaying Light Sensitive Collection items

Relationships between color production, color rendering of indigenous American textiles and their historical, ethnological, social, symbolic, aesthetic meanings, were presented during the conference. This paper explores the subject of color stability in relation to preservation issues that become cr...
