Rust Never Sleeps: Recognizing
Metals and Their Corrosion Products.

This review was kindly written by Gayle McIntyre. The students at
  Sir Sandford Fleming have been using the booklet as a
  supplementary textbook since it was first printed in 2009.

The booklet is also available in French. Cost is $15.00 per booklet
or $10.00 when purchasing ten or more booklets.  The booklet and
book order forms will be available at the upcoming ICCROM Metals
Conference in Charleston, South Carolina.

    It is creative, clever, compact, and colourful!  In this booklet
    Rust Never Sleeps, Susanne Sutherland, Conservator, Parks
    Canada, Prairie and Northern Centre in Winnipeg, has carefully
    adopted the iconic title of the 1979 album by Neil Young and
    Crazy Horse, and transformed it into a useful conservation
    reference.  The book is a handy, quick-at-a-glance guide that
    focuses on the identification of typical corrosion products and
    the care of metals in collections.

    While the book was created to serve as a tool for staff at Parks
    Canada Historic Sites to assess the condition of collections,
    the museum studies and conservation training programs at Fleming
    College in Peterborough have utilized it as a text book since it
    was first published.  The book is easy to comprehend; its
    simplicity is brilliant and it is reasonably priced. Complex
    corrosion products are presented in easy to understand terms,
    each supported with engaging, high quality visuals and images.
    It is an information asset for any conservation or heritage
    professional.

    The book is the result of unique international collaborations
    and partnerships involving Parks Canada, The Canadian
    Conservation Institute, The Netherlands Institute for Cultural
    Heritage and the University of Applied Arts Vienna.

    Susanne and her colleagues have produced a tidy masterpiece that
    will easily serve as a platform for a series.  Sequels to this
    book on other materials such as paper, photographs, textiles,
    etc. would be most welcome.

    The authors and contributors to the publication deserve credit
    and praise for passing on and preserving their knowledge base in
    such a tangible way.

        Co-ordinator for the Conservation and Museum Programme at
        Sir Fleming College, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
