What is cultural heritage conservation?
Cultural heritage conservation aims to pass structures, objects and places on with their values understood.
Origins, forms and everyday life
Documentation, condition assessment, risk reduction, maintenance and intervention work together. Moisture, fire, disasters, heavy use and unplanned change create distinct risks. Materials, history and setting determine appropriate methods.
Meaning, change and safeguarding
The aim is not simply to make an object look new; original traces and use histories matter. Record interventions and include both specialist and community perspectives.
