A concerted effort is currently underway to evaluate and upgrade the analytical spectra that are presented in CAMEO. This primarily includes examining current Infrared and Raman spectra to ensure their accuracy as well as to provide images with wavelength markers for the major peaks. The major work on MFA contributions is being done by Dr. Erin Mysak.

NEWS & UPDATES
NEW DATABASE AND NEW LOOK!
July, 2020
The Asian Textile Database in partnership with the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art, Freer and Sackler galleries is now online.
The Asian Textile Database began in 2005 as an inventory of textiles used for mounting screens and scrolls at the National Museum of Asian Art, Freer and Sackler galleries. It is now a part of CAMEO with the addition of textiles from the Asian Conservation Studio, MFA, Boston and features over 400 textile entries with data on fabric type, pattern, and color. In the future, scientific research will be added and institutions with Asian textile collections will be invited to collaborate and contribute to this database.
The CAMEO homepage now has a new logo and look!
We would like to thank Scott Na'auao of Welcome Stranger for his generosity in designing the new logo. Thank you!
AIC MATERIALS WORKING GROUP
June, 2020
The Materials Selection and Specification Working Group (MWG) at the American Institute for Conservation (AIC) is leading an effort to provide a resource bank of information that will help develop best practices in selection of materials used in the preservation, transport, and display of cultural heritage. CAMEO has been designated as the platform for the consolidated information on materials with new sets of information added under the headers: Applications, Personal Risks, Collection Risks, Environmental Risks, Working Properties, and Forms/Sizes. The ‘Additional Information’ field will contain links to the Oddy Test results residing in the AIC Wiki. The ‘Environmental Risks’ section will be populated with information developed as part of the recently funded NEH grant for Life Cycle Assessment of materials and treatments used in cultural conservation. CAMEO will also provide links to the Life Cycle Assessment tool that will enable the comparison of carbon footprints for over 3000 materials.
