What is Conservation?

Conservation is the interdisciplinary practice of caring for objects and the narratives they embody through examination, research, documentation, treatment, and preventive care. By combining technical, historical, and interpretive expertise, conservation strives toward the long-term stability of objects and the continued transmission of their histories into the future.

To learn more about conservation, the ethical framework of the discipline, and how to become a conservator, please visit the American Institute for Conservation.
