This second edition of Textile Conservation offers an up-to-date perspective on the role and practice of textile conservators, capturing the diversity of textile conservation work across the globe.
The volume considers key factors that are integral to effective conservation decision-making. It achieves this by focusing on four major factors that have influenced development in textile conservation practice over the past decades: the changing context, an evolution in the way conservators think about objects, the greater involvement of stakeholders, and technical development. Features of the new edition include:
- Updated chapters that explain new techniques and recent developments in the field;
- New and updated international case studies that demonstrate conservation decision-making in practice, including assessments of the conservation of objects in some of the world?s major cultural institutions;
- Full-colour illustrations that demonstrate conservation in practice.
Textile Conservation will be essential reading for conservators around the world. It will also be of great interest to academics and students engaged in the study of the conservation of textiles, as well as museum and heritage professionals.
1. Textile conservation within the cultural sector; 2. Treatment ethics and decision making; 3. Conservation and community partnerships; 4. Interventive conservation; 5. Preventive conservation; 6.
