The Nature of Conservation: A Race Against TimeEntry/Object ID
2008.013.3Description
This seminal book was first published in 1986 to present the philosophy and ethics of conservation to the public. As a primer about the training and responsibilities of a conservator, the role of science in conservation, and the ethical dilemmas conservators must face, it continues to be useful today. It features examples and illustrations of various types of artifacts in need of or undergoing conservation treatment.
Use this resource to: find out what skills and services a conservator might bring to your
institution; introduce staff or governing boards to terminology and philosophy of the conservation
profession; inform exhibit text, press materials, presentations, or public programming that includes a discussion of conservation.
