We delightfully announce that in March of the following year, the Dubrovnik Research Library will organize

1st International Conference of DRL entitled:

„Exhibition of the Heritage Items"

 

The conference will include a range of presentation formats including papers, posters and panel discussion. The conference will explore best practices in sustainable preventive conservation and risk management approaches to collection care before, during, and after display. New technologies and ideas can lead to qualitative experience improvements for the visitor while maintaining proper conditions for the preservation of the artefacts, although traditional approaches should not be neglected or misspresented either.
