The Archives of Historical Art Technology accepts papers both from restorers and all other scientific branches that affect historical technology in their research. We welcome, in particular, detailed laboratory analyses of works of art, or archive research into the material and technical as well as sociological aspects of art work. Likewise studies that generalize the occurrence of individual techniques in art and theoretical papers closely related to the material buildup of artifacts. We welcome papers sent from every country (in any language), for the development of historical art technology is primarily dependent on international exchange of knowledge.

The filing of every paper received in the archives is regarded as publication, following academic rule. The author will receive a  certificate of acceptance which will include the archive number and be, simultaneously, the number of the publication. The archives are open for study in accordance with international archive regulations, i. e. study is possible on the basis of a research card and includes the duty to quote sources so as not to misuse copyright.

Selected papers or parts of these are to be published by stages in this yearbook. As can be seen from the layout, the name of the author will always be followed by the archive sequence number. The translation of papers from abroad will be provided by the Archives of Historiacal Technology at their expense. An author whose work is printed will receive one free copy of the yearbook in which his study is printed.
