Articles on X-ray Analysis (1997-2007)

Advances in X-ray Analysis (AXA) are the proceedings of X-ray conferences organised by The International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD). The articles are freely available to download from their website, except for the volumes from 2008 and 2009.

I made a selection of the articles related with cultural heritage:
