The Getty Conservation Institute and UT-Austin's Center for Sustainable Development in the School of Architecture partnered with the Kilgarlin Center to bring to fruition this two-day symposium to examine sustainable practices in cultural heritage preservation environments. The symposiums website includes the full text of the symposium papers. A Step in the Evolution of the Treatment of Acetate Negatives
Karen L. Pavelka, Lecturer, School of Information, UT Austin The authors developed a method to separate the gelatin pellicle from the acetate support using a solution of acetone, ethanol, and water, which are solvents with low toxicity. The method allows for effective, predictable, and efficient separation of the pellicle.
