In our days astronomical research shows two trends - among others: On
the one hand traditional astronomical plate archives are in danger of
falling into oblivion while science is losing their information
content. On the other hand there is an ever-growing need for
long-term monitoring of large quantities of objects - the very
information contained in the archives. On this background the
workshop "Treasure-Hunting in Astronomical Plate Archives" was
convened in order to discuss the scientific potential of the world's
photometric and astrometric plate archives, ways of making them fully
available to scientific research, as well as technical problems
connected with this.
All texts are in English.
