The conference is sponsored by the Ville de Québec, Maison des métiers darts de Québec (GÉGEP de Limoilou) and the Fondation Little/Ragusich: conservation-restoration of cultural heritage administered by the Fondation communautaire du grand Québec.
The conference will open on Friday, October 2, 2009. The two-day conference program will include 17 presentations, eight posters, two evening receptions, and lunch during the conference. Presentation of papers and posters will take place at the Complex G of the Provincial government of Québec.
