The need for this reference material became apparent during a series of masterclasses and conferences, organized in the period 2012-2020 by Cultural Inventory Foundation ( SCI) in India, Russia and Cuba. The content is intended as a snapshot of up-to-date developments in these six focus areas and should not replace academic training in the field of painting conservation. They are also a tool for mid-career professional conservators seeking to refresh and update their knowledge. These brochures are designed to help bridge this gap. Thus, accessing such knowledge and integrating into practice can be challenging. New publications on focus topics are often issued through journals or editions that are costly and not easily available to the conservation field. In many countries, this knowledge is often concentrated within a relatively small group of conservators and other professionals in larger institutions with the resources to take major steps in the development and application of new methods for preservation and treatment of paintings. The content provided can be used by professional conservators, who are aware of the ethical and contextual aspects and complexity of conservation decision-making.Ĭonservation knowledge and practice are developing at an increasingly fast pace. These six brochures were compiled to serve as a reference, bringing together current practices and new knowledge regarding materials and methods for practical use.
