Read more Moscow The Committee on Cultural Heritage of Moscow (Moskomnasledie) aims at establishing contacts between Moscow and the Netherlands in order to exchange knowledge and experience of safeguarding archeological works in conditions of modern urban building. After the political changes in the beginning of the nineties the Committee was founded by the city of Moscow in order to face the changes in former communist attitudes to monuments and archeological excavations, which centered around the motto ‘archeology is an obstacle for communism’, towards a more preserving attitude. The Committee and theCIE cooperate on the exchange of knowledge on various levels and for different projects. The National Fund for the Rebirth of the Russian Country Estate requested the CIE for cooperation on the organization of the conference ‘Dutch Traces in Russian Cultural Landscape’. This meeting will focus on both theoretical and practical issues, such as the influence of Dutch horticultural traditions and technologies on the shapig of Russian gardens and parks. Other topics are exchange of knowledge in the field of the preservation of historical gardens, and the use of Dutch traditional and modern technologies and materials to restore the historical and to create new gardens and parks.

The Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences intends to cooperate with Dutch experts on the restoration and preservation of their Herbarium Sieboldianum. As a military doctor in service of the Dutch East-Indian Army the German physician Philip Franz von Siebold (1796 – 1866) was quartered first in Batavia (Djakarta) and from 1823 till 1829 in Dejima. In Japan he played an important role as a key figure in the circulation of contemporary western scientific methods. Between his first and second stay in Japan in 1859 Siebold lived near the city of Leiden where he concentrated on the extension of his collection of flora and fauna of Japan, the earliest botanical collection from this country. Although a large part of his collection was purchased by the Dutch government a part of theHerbarium was sold in late 1860’s by his widow to the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg.   The Herbarium Sieboldianum in St. Petersburg consists of more then 800 sheets with leafs and original notes by Siebold and his Japanese co-workers often on the original Japanese paper. Siebold’s scientific drawings and the correspondence of the purchase of the collection can be found in the Archive of the Academy of Sciences. 
The collection not only needs restoration, but also new labeling according to international botanical standards. The Institute also asks for advise on preservation of the sheets. Since there is only little knowledge in the field of restoring, preserving and conserving botanical collections in Russia the Institute aims at cooperation with Dutch experts. In addition the Institute hopes to establish contacts with Dutch scientist in order to research to Herbarium Sieboldiarum in both Russia and The Netherlands. www.binran.ruThe Velp Hoard: Late Roman Gold from the Northern Frontier.
