Abstract
The materials collection at the Institute of Science and Technology in Art materials produced only for the industrial sector or other purposes, e.g. many of
(ISTA) at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna includes around 400 inorganic the dyes were used in the textile industry or as staining reagents for biomedical
pigments, about 800 synthetic organic pigments and dyes as well as about applications.
490 organic binders (natural and synthetic resins), polymers, additives, As such collections are very valuable sources as reference materials, a
metal soaps, different raw materials, etc. dated to 19th and 20th centuries. Microsoft Access® database was compiled containing comprehensive material
The samples are combined in a very heterogeneous way regarding the information and analytical results (XRF, XRD, FTIR, and Raman) obtained on
origin and the age. Different types of containers as well as different label the colorants.

samples may have been used for artist materials. In addition, there are and will give the possibility to get access to all the data in an easy way.
All data stored in the Microsoft Access® database were implemented into the MySQL web-enabled database, which is a widely used open source
relational database management system.
The web-enabled database contains a general information about the ISTA Materials Collection, methods used for analytical approach, and the database

By selecting the database field „Database Colorants, Binders & Additives“ Further possibilities are given for searching all information completed in the
