Cleaning procedures applied on organic substrates of artefacts can be challenging due to their high sensitivity to all external factors, their fragile nature demanding a high precision and accurate monitoring of the cleaning process. This paper reports researches about the effect that the laser restoration procedures (laser cleaning, mainly) induce on organic substrates such as leather and parchment This study comprises aspects of the ageing of the materials and also specific issues concerning conservation of their photomechanical properties, correlating information obtained using specific scientific methods of analysis such as colorimetry, optical microscopy, shrinkage temperature of the organic fibres and NIR Spectroscopy.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
