Résumé
Conservators and scientists at the Canadian Conservation Institute, Ottawa, Ontario, have been investigating the deterioration of glass trade beads on Canadian ethnographic objects. These beads are on non-archaeological objects that have been stored in museums for varying amounts of time. Most of the beads examined are suffering from some form of glass disease.
