Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa (SCML) promoted last 14th and 15th of February the first Conference of Heritage dedicated to the subject of “To rehabilitate, to profit”. The conference took place at the Cultural Center of Belém (CCB), in Lisbon. This event brought together several Portuguese specialists from areas like Architecture, Urbanism and Heritage in order to discuss practices of conservation and heritage profiting.
SCML is a Portuguese charity institution with over 500 years old. For centuries it controlled and managed hospitals and offered assistance to the poor and in 1783 the queen granted it the control of the national lottery as main funding source. |

A project based on the common efforts of e-conservationline and Prorestauro teams was recently completed: an Interactive Calendar of Events dedicated to Conservation of Cultural Heritage. What does this new calendar bring? It was designed not only to update you with the current and forthcoming conservation events, but also to be used as a tool for conservators and other professionals involved in Cultural Heritage activities.

| One of the first records of a restoration intervention in Portugal dates back to 1890 when the painter Manuel de Moura restored the XVIth century Flemish panel Fons Vitae. In 1896, the chemical engineer Charles Lepierre examined some cloth fragments found on a bishop tomb located on the Saint Mary Cathedral at Coimbra, starting in this way the scientific study of works of art in Portugal. | |

Documentation |
| Modern Heritage Documentation for Conservation and Cultural Development in the Mediterranean Region an Interdisciplinary Approach and Postcolonial Perspective by Annarita Lamberti |
|
|
This article deals with approach to Documentation for Conservation, involving cultural and political aspects. In my argumentation the awareness of historical meanings of Urban Heritage is the basis for a culturally sustainable development.
It occurs when urban communities are able to understand the meanings of all historical components of their townscapes and to "mettre en valeur" culturally and economically their urban "patrimoines", realizing an integrated cultural landscape. |

Chinese Textiles Materials

| Materials Used in the Chinese Textiles from the National Museum of Art of Romania by Ileana Cretu and Mihai I. A. Lupu |
|
|
This paper presents concisely the results of the microchemical analyses made on Chinese embroideries and costumes, dated 18th–19th century, from the collections of the National Museum of Art of Romania, conserved in the last 40 years. Chinese textiles,
historically well known, raise many problems due to the materials they
are made of: very fine dyed or undyed silk, adhesive of unknown nature, paper metallic threads of different qualities, a different way of weaving and pigments used for decoration of tissues.
|
|
These kind of items were sometimes decorated with pigments used without a protective coating.
This caused important damages: the decorations depicted with blue, brown or violet pigments were lost together with the tissue. |
