Globe-Conservation is based on theories and intense studies. This book is written for the conservator-restorer to give him or her new knowledge, especially the chapter on globes made of metal spheres with paper gores is an entirely new research work. But also the other parts are systematized and exhaustively researched. It is also written for the layman to make him or her appreciate the globe at hand, possibly in his or her property even more and to guide him or her to store, handle and keep it properly.
Finally the book will be interesting for the researcher on globes, as it might open a historian, a geographer etc. his or her eyes for the material used in the globes and the information inherent in it.

Librarians, archivists, heads of print and drawing collections, conservators and historians as well as art historians and natural scientists have all been consulted in an attempt to discover what exactly is needed to safeguard our written cultural heritage.

have the rights in future. Pictures which reach us without this explicit remark on rights will be cancelled by us
without exception.
5.1 Photos
Printing will be in black and white. Never the less colour pictures are a good basis for black and while printing.
The pictures should have 1300Pixels (initial size) per edge. In case of JPG compression the files should be created in such a way, that files are 400–600KB minimum. In case of depiction objects, please do leave a distance

5.3 Drawings
Drawings are newly drawn by us as a rule.
5.4 Flowcharts
Flowcharts nearly always must be reworked (adaption to the text, unification of fonts). Clear constructions and
inscriptions by the author are essential for this.
5.5 Subtitle
Every photo, graph and drawing or snapshot from the webpage are subtitled “Fig.” only tables are subtitled
“Tab.”
Fig. 1: NIR spectrometer curves of historic iron gall ink and Akvila Archival industrial iron gall ink both non-aged
and aged
Tab. 1: Identification methods needed for the identification of historic iron gall ink from Akvila industrial inks
In the flow of the text please refer to the tables as follows:
… paper (Fig. 6a), rag paper (Fig. 6c), and wood-pulp paper (Fig. 6e) show the initial state prior to any laser
illumination. Cellulose fibers …
… and pigments (Tab. 1).
Please try to find short but meaningful subtitles for the pictures etc.

Guidelines for Poster Preparation
1. General aim and format
1.1 A poster is a graphically based approach to presenting research. In presenting your research with a poster, you should aim to use the poster as a means for generating active discussion of the research.
1.2 Limit the text to about one-fourth of the poster space, and use "visuals" (graphs, photographs, schematics, maps, etc.) to explain your research.
2 Design and layout specifications
2.1 The entire poster must not exceed AO size. The poster should be printed on good quality paper and sent rolled in a tube. The poster will be eventually mounted on foam core board. However this is done only after the poster has been submitted for editing.
2.2 The board must be oriented in the "landscape" position (long dimension is horizontal).
2.3 A banner displaying your poster title, name/s of authors, and department or entity should be positioned at top-centre of the board (see Figure 1).
2.4 Make it obvious to the viewer how to progressively view the poster. The poster generally should read from left to right, and top to bottom. Numbering the individuals panels, or connecting them with arrows is a standard "guidance system" (see Figure 1).
2.5 Leave some open space in the design. An open layout is less tiring to the eye and mind.
Figure 1: Conventional layouts for a poster. Long panel at top-center is title/author banner. Individual panels can be connected by numbers and arrows. Also, note the use of space between panels to achieve visual appeal. (from: C. W. Connor, 1992, The Poster Session: A Guide for Preparation: U. S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 88-667.)
3. Lettering
3.1 Word-process all text (including captions). Print on plain white paper with a laser printer or inkjet printer.
3.2 Text should be readable from five feet away. Use a minimum font size of 18 points.
3.3 Lettering for the title should be large (at least 70-point font). Try to use all capital letters for the title.
3.4 Preferably use Arial font.
4. Visuals
4.1 Present numerical data in the form of graphs, rather then tables (graphs make trends in the data much more evident). If data must be presented in table-form, KEEP IT SIMPLE.
4.2 Visuals should be simple and bold. Leave out or remove any unnecessary details.
4.3 Make sure that any visual can "stand alone" (i. e., graph axes are properly labelled, maps have north arrows and distance scales, symbols are explained, etc.).
4.4 Use colour to enhance comprehension, not to decorate the poster.
4.5 Make sure that the text and the visuals are integrated. Figures should be numbered consecutively according to the order in which they are first mentioned in the text.
4.6 Each visual should have a brief title (for example: Figure 1- Location of study area).
5. Text
5.1 Keep the text brief. Blocks of text should not exceed three paragraphs (viewers won't bother to read more than that).
Use text to
(a) introduce the study (what hypothesis was tested or what problem was investigated? why was the study worth doing?),
(b) explain visuals and direct viewers attention to significant data trends and relationships portrayed in the visuals, and
(c) state and explain the interpretations that follow from the data. In many cases, conclusions can be summarized in a bullet-point list.
5.2 Depending upon the stage or nature of your project, the text could also include sections on future research plans or questions for discussion with viewers.
5.3 Cite and reference any sources of information other than your own, just as you would do with a research paper. Use the same citation system found in our guidelines for authors.
5.4 A good link for free poster templates is:
http://www.posterpresentations.com/html/free_poster_templates.html
ADITIONAL DATA ABOUT Authors
With the poster give:
1. Corresponding Author name and surname, Title, Full address, E-mail, Phone, Fax and homepage.
2. Co-author(s) name(s) and surname(s), Titles, Full addresses, E-mails, Phones, Faxes and homepages.
Display at Conference
The posters will be mounted on foamboard and displayed in a prominent area. Please bring the posters ready to be presented to the conference or send them to us by traditional mail.
