Improved Damage Assessment of Parchment Network

The IDAP network is a non-profit organisation that has sprung from the experience of the IDAP EU Project which mainly investigated parchment ageing and deterioration mechanisms at nanoscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic and macroscopic levels, and has created databases for identification of the state preservation of ancient parchments and the prevention and evaluation of their damage. The major achievements of IDAP are:

A programme for the assessment of damage in parchments (PDAP – Parchment Damage Assessment Programme)
A fast warning and prevention system (EWS - Early Warning System)
A simple, digital atlas on parchment damage assessment (DUPDA - Digitised User-Friendly Parchment Damage Atlas)

IDAP Network purpose is to provide professionals in applied conservation-restoration, conservation-restoration research and education with an interactive tool in the form of a central database for damage assessment and research into cultural heritage parchment materials. The IDAP database is hosted by the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Conservation, on whose initiative it was established and who is responsible for its operation and updating.

IDAP Project and Network have been identified as a major infrastructure of interest for the humanities in Europe by the European Science Council in 2006.

Eligible for membership of the network are IDAP partners and end-users such as cultural heritage and research institutions as well as private professional conservator-restorers etc. trained in the proper use of the IDAP assessment methods and database facilities.
