In 1973, the Washington University Department of Physics endeavored to collaboratively combine the technical skills of its faculty with the subject expertise of art historians and archaeologists.
Named the Washington University Center for Archaeometry, this highly experimental marriage of disciplines sought to deliberately document, restore, and preserve both the physical and the intellectual properties of precious works of art.
Through a succession of surveys, technical examinations, conservation treatments, educational programs, research, and publications, the Washington University Center for Archaeometry was soon recognized as a leading authority in the conservation of bronze outdoor sculpture.
In 1976, the Washington University Center for Archaeometry became a profit-driven organization and was renamed “Washington University Technology Associates, Inc.”
