Dyes in History and Archaeology 44

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue features contributions from the conference DHA44. Dyes in History and Archaeology is an annual international conference that focuses on the academic discussion of dyes and organic pigments used in the past. Every year since 1982, this meeting has drawn together conservators, curators, (technical) art historians, craftspeople, artists, scientists and academics from museums, universities, research centres and other public or private institutions. The aim of the conference is to bring these specialists together to delve deeply into the history, production, application and properties of organic colourants, as well as their analytical characterisation and identification. The focus is often on textile objects, but also on other substrates as well as painted surfaces.

The 44th annual meeting was hosted in Ottawa, Canada, by the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI), the National Gallery of Canada (NGC) and the Canadian Museum of History (CMH).
