Dyes in History and Archaeology 42

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue features contributions from the conference DHA42. Dyes in History and Archaeology (DHA) is an annual international conference that focuses on the academic discussion of dyes and organic pigments used in the past. Every year since 1982, this meeting unites conservators, curators, (technical) art historians, craftspeople, artists, scientists, and academics from museums, universities, research centres, and other public or private institutions. The aim of this conference is to bring these specialists together in order to delve deeply into the history, production, application, and properties of organic colourants, as well as their analytical characterisation and identification. The focus is often on textile objects, but it can also centre on other substrates, as well as painted surfaces. The 42nd annual meeting was hosted in Copenhagen by the University of Copenhagen in collaboration with the National Museum of Denmark, the Centre for Textile Research (CTR), the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, and the Danish School of Conservation.
