[can-talk] Fw: New Book on Conservation

Dear Brenda,

 

I think you'll find that this book has been designed to assist in
decision making about treatment options for the conservation of
collection items, that is interventive conservation undertaken by
conservators, whereas ReCollections focuses more on Preventive
Conservation such as the storage, handling and environmental management
issues surrounding the long term care of collections.  Was there a
particular issue you were wishing to address?

Dear CAN members,

 

I've received notice on a new publication from the US titled,
'Conservation

Treatment Methodology', see below.

 

I'm seeking feedback on whether this publication is similar to or better

than (or totally different to) reCollections Caring for Collections
Across

Australia (published by Heritage Collections Council).  Or if there's

another similar and more recent Australian publication that addresses

conservation treatment methodology.

 

Regards,

Dear Colleagues,

 

I am happy to announce the publication of my new book, Conservation

Treatment Methodology (Elsevier, 2007), which was written both for

conservators who carry out treatments and for curators and other
custodians

who partner in treatment decisions.

 

The book is a practical guide to decision-making for conservation

treatments of all kinds of cultural material and describes systematic
ways

to address the difficult issues of use, meaning, and values.  Because
these

issues relate to the custodial institution, not to the technical aspects
of

conservation, the book establishes a common ground on which conservators

and custodians can work together.

 

As a result, the methodology is as relevant to non-fine-art settings
like

historic preservation, archives, libraries, scientific collections,

anthropological and archaeological collections, as it is to art

collections.

 

I hope that Conservation Treatment Methodology proves helpful in your
work.

It is available at Amazon.com and at

http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/bookdescription.cws_home/712171/desc

is

insightful and practical. The book should be read, owned and used as
