“Technical Innovations in Conserving Museum Collections & Architectural Heritage Structures: New Roles for Sunlight & Photocatalytic Agents”
Cultural treasures --- from outdoor sculptures and monuments to indoor museum collections and artifacts --- require continual diligent care and maintenance. Though we seldom think about it, all are subject to soiling and biological attacks that degrade. Outdoors: cleaning techniques, especially pressure washing, and biocides are themselves destructive and have adverse environmental impacts. Indoors: storage cabinets and display cases “off gas” volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute to deterioration and pose indoor air quality hazards to museum goers. Following an overview of photocatalytic technology, speaker Andrew Voros will describe methods that outdoors passively make structures biostatic and self-cleaning; and which indoors render VOCs into carbon dioxide and water. He will also address issues of difficult access, costs and insurance considerations.

Curatorial Tour of "Gutenberg and After"
Curatorial Tour of "Gutenberg & After" at Firestone Library.
Wednesday November 13, 2019; 6 to 8 pm at the Milberg Gallery; Firestone Library.
Wine and Cheese will be served. Free to PA3 dues-paying members and one guest per member
** PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED VIA EMAIL TO SEV. ADMISSION IS LIMITED TO THE FIRST 20 REGISTRANTS. **
Bibliophile and philanthropist William H. Scheide '36 bequeathed to Princeton his rare book library, including one of the world's greatest collections of early European printing. Today, a new exhibition opens in the Ellen and Leonard Milberg Gallery, “Gutenberg & After: Europe’s First Printers 1450-1470,” showcasing the Scheide collection alongside treasures borrowed from nine leading institutions in the United Kingdom and North America.
The exhibition tells the story of the two decades that transformed text production and distribution across Europe. It is the first exhibition to focus on the inaugural years of the spread of printing.
The cornerstones of the exhibition are the Gutenberg Bible of 1455 and the 1457 Mainz Psalter, both from the Scheide Library. These two earliest datable printed books are contextualized by a careful selection of other early European printing that documents both Mainz printing even earlier than the Gutenberg Bible, and the spread of printing to other towns, including Strasbourg, Bamberg, Rome, Venice, and Paris.

First Friday Lunch - October 4, 2019
Join us for First Fridays, a monthly recurring event for undergraduate and graduate Princeton alumni, graduate students, and parents. On the first Friday of each month, area alumni and their guests will meet to enjoy a prix fixe luncheon at the Nassau Club in downtown Princeton. As a special bonus for PA3, a Princeton University PhD candidate will present his/her work to the group in this informal setting. Topics vary monthly and are always interesting! Have a look at our impressive roster of previous luncheons.
Joel Finkelstein *18, Director of the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) in Princeton, NJ, joins the James Madison Program as a 2019-2020 Visiting Research Scholar. NCRI deploys machine learning tools to track, expose, and combat the growing tide of hate and extremism on social media. His work on hate in social media has appeared on the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, NPR, CNN and other media outlets.
Formerly a research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism and a graduate fellow at the National Science Foundation, Joel received his Ph.D. from Princeton University where his doctoral work focused on the Psychology and Neuroscience of addiction behavior. He received his B.A. in Neuroscience and Behavior from University of California, Santa Cruz. During his time with the James Madison Program, he will research using quantitative methods to capture psychological, political, and linguistic markers of incitement in both modern and historical episodes of group-motivated hate and violence.
Please join us! As always, there is sure to be a lively discussion.
Specially priced at $28/person (or $32 if you choose not to pay PA3's annual dues),
Lunch includes an appetizer, entree, dessert and coffee/tea.

Speaker: Will Watts
Director, Operations Engineering, Block Renovation
“Streamlining the Home Renovation Process:
A New Platform that Dovetails for Homeowners AND Contractors”
Few “things” mean more to us than our homes. And, many of us have dreams, whether we act on them or not, to renovate these spaces and make them more truly ours. But it’s often a navigational process fraught with pitfalls. Where does one begin? How much will it actually cost? How long will it really take? Who will: vouch for the quality of the materials; vet the contractors; coordinate and manage the design, board approvals and construction planning? Aerospace Engineer and Princeton alumnus Will Watts will address these questions and tell us how Block Renovation, a young Brooklyn-based company, couples new technologies with process innovations that bring order, clarity and tightness to home renovation. In particular, he will showcase Block’s all-inclusive platform approach that has drastically simplified the process --- to benefit homeowners and contractors alike.
