WORKSHOP:
Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, MA will host the Fifth MaSC Workshop on 9th – 11th May 2011, jointly organised by Harvard Art Museums and the MaSC committee. The workshop will be limited to 10 participants.
The workshop will focus on laser desorption ionisation mass spectrometry (LDMS) and matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation mass spectrometry (MALDI) with emphasis on the identification and characterisation of synthetic organic pigments and proteins. The three days will consist of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on training. Participants will be encouraged to bring appropriate samples of their own.
Those wishing to attend are requested to submit a short paragraph describing their experience with mass spectrmetry and what they anticipate learning from the workshop along with the registration form posted on the MaSC website – www.mascgroup.org. The registration fee for the workshop is $300. Requests to attend the workshop must be received no later than 11th February 2011. Notification of acceptance for the workshop will be given no later than 4th March 2011.
MEETING:
The MaSC meeting will be held at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, 12th – 13th May 2011 and will include discussions and presentations on a variety of chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques and their application to the study of art and cultural artefacts. Contributions on mass spectrometric techniques, such as direct insertion probe MS, GCMS, LCMS, LDMS and MALDI, are encouraged. We also welcome presentations on a broader range of topics of interest to conservation science. The collegial atmosphere of the meeting povides an ideal venue for the exchange of ideas and the discussion of work in progress. Those interested in presenting a paper or poster should submit a 150 word abstract using the registration form on the MaSC website. Abstracts must be received no later than 11th February 2011. Notification of acceptance of abstracts will be given no later than 4th March 2011.
