What are transfers from a technological point-of-view, and can they be classified into specific categories?
Can specific types be identified “after the fact” (i.e., when found on a drawing that was produced thirty years ago by an unknown designer)? 3. What conservation treatments, if any, can be developed for transfers of all kinds, taking into account the specific type of transfer as well as the nature of the substrate (plain paper, photosensitized paper, film). I have already some clues to these questions, which I will be willing to share as soon as the research is somewhat complete (I repeat, this is a small project, mostly theoretical for the time being). However, I would be very interested and most grateful to hear from other conservators, designers, architects, curators, archivists, etc., should they have any specific insight on the questions I outlined above. Please feel free to answer me directly, and be certain I will duly credit everyone in the final report.
