International Conferences

Sgraffito Conference in November 2017 - Registration is open until 15th of October
Until 15th of October, you still have the possibility to register for the International Sgraffito Conference from 2 to 4 November 2017 at the HAWK in Hildesheim (Germany). There will be speakers from Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, Austria, Belgium and Switzerland. The conference will focus on the material, technical and thematic change of these special plaster decorations from the Middle Ages to the late 20th century. Further information you can find here.

Consolidation Conference - registration is open
The restoration study program of the University of Applied Siences and Arts in Hildesheim (HAWK) organizes an international conference on "Consolidation and Communication" from 25 to 27 January 2018 in Hildesheim (Germany): The conference aims to promote an exchange between the different disciplines of restoration and among others encourage the adaptation of best practices of consolidation in a new context.
For registration and draft agenda see here.
Registration is required due to the limited capacity of the conference room. We also recommend to arrange your accomodation soon as a popular festival of light art, the so-called "Lichtungen", will take place parallel to the conference and attract thousands of visitors.

Learning via Internet

Online courses

Our training courses aim at those who (have to) put their emphasis on flexibility. The modules facilitate individual studying with regard to time management, learning speed and the depth of knowledge you wish to achieve. You can check your personal progress with the help of tests. Tutors will assist you whenever you encounter technical or content-related difficulties. Distant students will be granted a Hornemann Institute certificate upon successful completion of the program and passing a final on-line examination.

- Microbial Infestation of Objects of Art and Cultural Heritage by Prof. Dr. Karin Petersen and Barbara Hentschel M.A.
- The Examination of Transparent Coatings on Furniture and Wooden Objects by Prof. Dr. Gerdi Maierbacher-Legl, Dr. Julia Schultz M.A. and Merle Strätling M.A.

E-publishing

EwaGlos - Arabic translation is online

The Arabic translation of EwaGlos (European Illustrated Glossary of Conservation Terms for Wall Paintings and Architectural Surfaces) is online. You find it here.
Professor Dr. Hussein Mohamed Ali from the Department of Conservation at Minia University in Egypt and Guest Professor at the Yarmouk University in Jordan has been responsible for this Arabic version. If you have any comments, please contact him directly: Hussein_M_Ali@yahoo.com

Specialised information via internet

Saltwiki

Both the English "SaltWiki" and the German "SalzWiki" are still very strongly received. If you would like to use the free platform as a quick publication path on the topic of salts and cultural property or if you would like to be an editor in order to contribute to the improvement of the quality, please contact us! You can get a personal explanation of the wikis at SWBSS (Salt Weathering of Buildings and Stone Sculptures) from 20 - 22 September 2017 at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam.

Just updated: List of literature resources at www.hornemann-institut.de
Once again, the Hornemann Institute has updated its service for literature search and procurement.Here you can find
• Interdisciplinary Library Catalogues
• Special Library Catalogues
• Document delivery
• Lists of available books
• Bibliographies
• Electronic Journals
• Manuscripts
• Images and Photos
• Archives    
For the resources of other providers recommended by us, we added the section "Games", since digital games are getting more and more weight in science. To date, however, we have only referred to the playful recording of art historian themes, such as "Four Last Things" with the time travel of a pilgrim, a "Monty Python fanboy",

On our own behalf

New in the team: Roksana Jachim M.A.
Roksana Jachim M.A., specialised in the conservation/restoration of Polychrome Wooden Objects and Paintings, supports the team part time.

Your feedback helps!
Every now and then, errors of the software have to be cleaned up: This happens and is nothing unusual in such a complex portal. We would like to encourage you to continue to give us feedback if something does not work "properly". Immediate action is not always possible, after your report we decide directly, what is important and what can still wait.
