Location

Stanford, Redwood City, California.

This workshop took place in Stanford, Redwood City, California.
If you wish to be involved in terminology after this workshop please contact us. We seek experts in a variety of conservation domains.

Conservators use many vocabularies in their descriptions. As a result of this workshop we will report on the current landscape of terminology in conservation, test available tools and propose future work.
