Science Meets Music
Science Meets Music is a new annual series highlighting the collaborative research endeavor, Glass at Risk, undertaken by the Library of Congress, Catholic University of America, and George Washington University to identify and develop simple tools for detecting unstable glass in 19th century cultural heritage collections. Glass At Risk is supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The symposium program each year will feature two or more talks on research studies conducted at the Library and incorporating other invited talks that are of general interest to cultural heritage curators, conservators, scientists, and musicians.
