Disaster preparedness (cultural property)
Disaster preparedness in museums, galleries, libraries, archives and private collections, involves any actions taken to plan for, prevent, respond or recover from natural disasters and other events that can cause damage or loss to cultural property. 'Disasters' in this context may include large-scale natural events such as earthquakes, flooding or bushfire, as well as human-caused events such as theft and vandalism.
Conservation and restoration of cultural property
The conservation and restoration of cultural property focuses on protection and care of cultural property (tangible cultural heritage), including artworks, architecture, archaeology, and museum collections. Conservation activities include preventive conservation, examination, documentation, research, treatment, and education. This field is closely allied with conservation science, curators and registrars.
Conservation des documents
Le principe de conservation des documents en archivistique ou en sciences de l'information et des bibliothèques est l'un des piliers essentiels de ces disciplines, avec la collecte des documents, le classement des archives ou les classifications décimales ou documentaires des bibliothèques ou centres de ressources. Les mesures appliquées par les bibliothécaires et les archivistes, notamment, pour conserver les documents (livres, archives, objets) ont pour but initial de leur assurer une « durée de vie » maximale.
Conservator-restorer
A conservator-restorer is a professional responsible for the preservation of artistic and cultural artifacts, also known as cultural heritage. Conservators possess the expertise to preserve cultural heritage in a way that retains the integrity of the object, building or site, including its historical significance, context and aesthetic or visual aspects. This kind of preservation is done by analyzing and assessing the condition of cultural property, understanding processes and evidence of deterioration, planning collections care or site management strategies that prevent damage, carrying out conservation treatments, and conducting research.
