Preventive Conservation as the Basis of Restorer’s Activity

Abstract

The publication presents a Russian translation of the chapter “The primary activities of conservator” from the book by one of the founders of restoration science in Canada, and the well-known theorist and practicing conservator Philip Ward “The Nature of Conservation: A Race Against Time”, devoted to the fundamentals of the profession of a conservator – to the preventive conservation measures. Philip Ward formulates the basic principles of this type of restoration activity, which has currently received deep theoretical elaboration. Comments on the translation include some cases of practical, applied implementation of conservation-restoration techniques of paintings within the educational process, based on the ideas of preventive conservation.
