Survey on collaboration between curators and conservators

Survey on the collaboration between curators and conservators

For more than ten years now "Technical Art History" has been gaining
growing attention among both curators and conservator-restorers
alike. This has led to an increasing number of collaborative
projects and seminars. This is good for both our professions, but it
also prompts several important questions. For instance: what is the
reality of collaboration between curators and conservators on a day
to day basis? Do we make enough use of one another's expertise?

In order to answer these questions and in order for all of us to
understand more about the nature, need and willingness to
collaborate, please participate in an anonymous survey.

Go to <URL:http://curator-conservator-collaboration.blogspot.com/>
where you will find more information about the project and general
explanations.

The survey can be taken in English or French. It is completely
anonymous and takes approximately 10-30 minutes depending on how
many comments you would like to make.

The survey will remain open until November 1, 2010..

Some information from the survey will be used in a PhD thesis
concerning the collaboration between curators and paintings
conservators in Western European countries, the USA and Australia.

Although the primary project largely concerns curators and paintings
conservators, all material groups (specialties) are invited to take
the survey. Any results not specifically used in the thesis will be
presented through lectures and articles.

If you know of a particularly important and interesting case of
collaboration between curators and conservator-restorers please
