AUTHOR'S PREFACE Some may say that the attempt to Introduce the whole subject of Conservation of Cultural Propety Is too ambitious, but actually someone has to undertake this task and it fell to my lot as Director of the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cxiltural Property (ICCROM). An introduction to conservation such as this has difficulties in striking the right balance between all the disciplines involved. The writer is an architect and, therefore, a generalist having contact with both the arts and sciences. In such a rapidly developing field as conservation no written statement can be regarded as definite. This booklet should only be taken as a basis for further discussions. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In writing anything with such a wide scope as this booklet, any author needs help and constructive comments.

  • Collection Policy
    COLLECTION POLICY Collecting is at the heart of the Witte Museum’s mission and must be done with clear purpose and well-articulated guidelines. The museum’s Collection Plan provides the guidelines for what the museum will collect. The Collection Policy sets forth the professional standards and responsibilities for the care and management of collections as required of an accredited museum. The Collections Department Procedures Manual covers procedures for implementing this policy. This policy should be reviewed every five years or as necessary to reflect changes in staff, strategic plan, Collection Plan, or museum practices at large. I. MISSION Statement The Witte Museum promotes lifelong learning through innovative exhibitions, programs, and collections in natural history, science, and South Texas heritage II. VISION STATEMENT Through innovative programs in history, science, and culture the Witte Museum enriches lives, promotes a quality of life for all South Texas people and generates a legacy of knowledge. III. VALUES Learning organization Collection Stewardship Quality programs and exhibitions Fiscal stability Environmental stewardship Professional ethic Welcoming environment Approved 09/20/2017 1 IV. TYPES OF COLLECTIONS The Witte Museum possesses five types of collections: Accessioned, Library, Research, Living, and Educational. The Witte shall designate at the time of acquisition the collection category to which material is assigned. The assigned category may change as the priorities and collections of the Witte evolve. Accessioned Collections Items in the Accessioned Collections shall relate directly to the Mission Statement of the Witte and shall be used solely for exhibitions, research, publications, exhibition loans, education, and Witte branding and merchandising. The documentation, care and disposition of accessioned items are governed by this policy and museum best practices.

  • A New Method for the Conservation of Ancient Colored Paintings on Ramie
    Liu et al. Herit Sci (2021) 9:13 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40494-021-00486-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A new method for the conservation of ancient colored paintings on ramie textiles Jiaojiao Liu*, Yuhu Li*, Daodao Hu, Huiping Xing, Xiaolian Chao, Jing Cao and Zhihui Jia Abstract Textiles are valuable cultural heritage items that are susceptible to several degradation processes due to their sensi- tive nature, such as the case of ancient ma colored-paintings. Therefore, it is important to take measures to protect the precious ma artifacts. Generally, ″ma″ includes ramie, hemp, fax, oil fax, kenaf, jute, and so on. In this paper, an examination and analysis of a painted ma textile were the frst step in proposing an appropriate conservation treat- ment. Standard fber and light microscopy were used to identify the fber type of the painted ma textile. Moreover, custom-made reinforcement materials and technology were introduced with the principles of compatibility, durabil- ity and reversibility. The properties of tensile strength, aging resistance and color alteration of the new material to be added were studied before and after dry heat aging, wet heat aging and UV light aging. After systematic examina- tion and evaluation of the painted ma textile and reinforcement materials, the optimal conservation treatment was established, and exhibition method was established. Our work presents a new method for the conservation of ancient Chinese painted ramie textiles that would promote the protection of these valuable artifacts. Keywords: Painted textiles, Ramie fber, Conservation methods, Reinforcement, Cultural relic Introduction Among them, painted ma textiles are characterized by Textiles in all forms are an essential part of human civi- the fexibility, draping quality, heterogeneity, and mul- lization [1].

  • Conservation of Cultural and Scientific Objects
    CHAPTER NINE 335 CONSERVATION OF CULTURAL AND SCIENTIFIC OBJECTS In creating the National Park Service in 1916, Congress directed it "to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life" in the parks.1 The Service therefore had to address immediately the preservation of objects placed under its care. This chapter traces how it responded to this charge during its first 66 years. Those years encompassed two developmental phases of conservation practice, one largely empirical and the other increasingly scientific. Because these tended to parallel in constraints and opportunities what other agencies found possible in object preservation, a preliminary review of the conservation field may clarify Service accomplishments. Material objects have inescapably finite existence. All of them deteriorate by the action of pervasive external and internal agents of destruction. Those we wish to keep intact for future generations therefore require special care. They must receive timely and. proper protective, preventive, and often restorative attention. Such chosen objects tend to become museum specimens to ensure them enhanced protection. Curators, who have traditionally studied and cared for museum collections, have provided the front line for their defense. In 1916 they had three principal sources of information and assistance on ways to preserve objects. From observation, instruction manuals, and formularies, they could borrow the practices that artists and craftsmen had developed through generations of trial and error. They might adopt industrial solutions, which often rested on applied research that sought only a reasonable durability. And they could turn to private restorers who specialized in remedying common ills of damaged antiques or works of art.

  • SAA Guidelines for Preparing Legacy Archaeology Collections
    GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING LEGACY ARCHAEOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS FOR CURATION Michelle K. Knoll and Bruce B. Huckell ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We are grateful to a number of colleagues for their advice and assistance in compiling and reviewing previous drafts of this document. Our first thanks go to volunteers nearing retirement who completed a preliminary survey about what kinds of collections, samples, and materials they had in their possession that needed to be curated. They helped us assess what topics might best be covered in this guide. Once we started the process of compiling sections and full drafts, we had the good fortune to receive editorial comments, suggestions, and thoughtful reactions from our colleagues on the SAA Committee on Museums, Collections, and Curation. In particular, we are most grateful to committee chair Danielle Benden, Terry Childs, Jenna Domeischel, Susan Gilliland, and Marybeth Tomka. Bill Lipe, Professor Emeritus, Washington State University, long concerned with the proper curation of legacy collections, provided us with much food for thought on both an initial and a revised draft of this guide. We thank Richard Talbot, Brigham Young University, and Janaki Krishna, Natural History Museum of Utah, who also reviewed drafts, and Andrea Knoll for assistance with designing the cover. Our thanks as well to our colleagues at the University of Utah and the University of New Mexico for important conversations about aspects of curation that came up as we worked on the guide. Finally, we are grateful to the SAA Board of Directors for their invitation to prepare the guide and for their review and final approval of it.

    Policy and Minimum Requirements for Management of Cultural Collections Cultural Collections Committee April 2006 [updated October 2009] CONTENTS Policy for management of Cultural Collections 1 Introduction 2 Definition 3 Ownership 4 Responsibility 5 Establishment 6 Acquisition Minimum requirements for management of Cultural Collections Part A: General requirements Part B: Acquisition policy: minimum requirements Part C: Deaccession and disposal policy and procedure: minimum requirements Part D: List of Cultural Collections University of Melbourne Policy for management of Cultural Collections1 1 Introduction2 The University of Melbourne owns 32 identified cultural collections, of which 30 are managed by the University.3 It also owns a number of individual heritage objects which are not part of a collection. This policy and the minimum requirements are intended to apply to all faculties, schools, institutes, centres and departments of the University, and to all Cultural Collections owned and managed by the University now and in the future. 2 Definition Each of the Cultural Collections owned by the University of Melbourne is an assemblage of physical (not digital or virtual) objects,4 which have historic, aesthetic, scientific, research, technical, social or spiritual significance. This significance goes beyond the collection’s role as an intellectual resource or carrier of information or evidence. The objects in a Cultural Collection may be naturally occurring or created by humans and can include living organisms. Although each individual object might not be rare or unique, each collection as a totality is unique and irreplaceable; if lost or destroyed, the collection may not be able to be re-created, regardless of available funding.
