Subject: Conservation archives in UK
The European Commission currently has a project to document the careers of conservators and to list the location of conservation archives. Most public institutions have documented conservation interventions in recent decades, but information about the conservators themselves is less likely to have been recorded. If you know the whereabouts of collections of any of the following types of record please post here and contact Andrew Oddy <waoddy [at] googlemail__com>. **** Moderator's comments: This being such an important topic, if your response is of general interest post it here as well 1. Printed obituaries of conservators (inc. cons scientists and cons teachers) from newspapers and journals. 2. Manuscript memoirs of conservators (inc. cons scientists and cons teachers) 3. Archives relating to conservators and conservation. 4. The personal archive of any former conservators (inc. cons scientists and cons teachers) 5. Records of conservation interventions *** Conservation DistList Instance 19:56 Distributed: Friday, May 19, 2006 Message Id: cdl-19-56-010 ***Received on Monday, 15 May, 2006
