BESPOKE CONSERVATION AND PRESERVATION SERVICES AND SOLUTIONS THAT MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN CULTURE AND HERITAGE.
What is conservation?
Conservation in this context refers to the preservation of cultural heritage for future generations, with object conservation relating to works of art and three-dimensional artifacts. The aim of conservation practice to preserve and prevent damage to objects (preventative conservation) and can include restoration. Typically, a conservator uses treatments that are reversible, whenever possible in order to minimise changes to the object and materials.
Conservators are specialists who combine an understanding of scientific principles with a practical expertise in conservation techniques and the properties of materials to determine the best means of preserving objects.
Further information can be found on the Australian Institute for the Conservation of Cultural Material (AICCM) website.
