Conservation methodology
Course reference PC8901
COURSE LEADER:  Helen Hughes

Conservators, whether they work on delicate clocks or large wall paintings, share a common methodology and ethic.  This short course explores how a conservation profession has developed during the last century and examines how ‘western’ conservation values are deployed in the management of global cultural heritage.  The course will examine contentious concepts such as ‘irreversibility’, ‘minimal intervention’, value judgements and how conservators impact on the decision-making process.
