Thee research in this work was carried out at the National Gallery of Art, Washington,, DC, and sponsored through funding and support from the US Departmentt of the Interior, National Park Service, and National Center for Preservationn Technology and Training (NCPTT). Other funding sponsors include thee J. Paul Getty Foundation, and generous matching funds from the National Galleryy of Art. Prior to the work at the National Gallery or Art, investigation into thee interaction of benzotriazole with copper corrosion minerals was conducted at thee Sherman Fairchild Center for Objects Conservation, The Metropolitan Museum off Art, New York, NY, with the generous support of the L.W. Frohlich Foundation.. Any opinions, findings, conclusions and recommendations expressed inn this paper are those of the author and do not reflect the views of the National Galleryy of Art, the US Department of the Interior, the National Park Service, the Nationall Center for Preservation Technology and Training, or the Frohlich Foundation. .
