Résumé
As conservators increasingly engage not only with unaltered works of art, books, and archival collections, but also with the treatment materials of their predecessors, documentation of historic conservation practices is vital to finding an ethical path forward. Our treatment decisions must take into consideration the multi-layered histories of the objects in our care, as well as the past, present, and future stewards of our cultural heritage.
