The Laser Discussion Group (LDG) is AIC’s newest discussion group and was established under the auspices of the Research and Technical Studies Group. The goal of the group is to advance the use of laser technologies in art and heritage conservation and facilitate communication and collaboration between communities that utilize lasers in conservation interventions or treatments. This initiative seeks to expand American engagement within the established international community and to serve as a resource for professionals interested in incorporating laser technologies into conservation practices.
