Reviews for Conservation of Cultural Heritage: Key Principles and Approaches

I wish I had such a book when I began this work a few years ago. It is the perfect reference, written in a lovely style, making technical language easy to understand . -Marie E. Kujenga, Allegany Museum, USA This work is an exceedingly valuable resource, covering a broad range of preservation issues including impacts of exhibition, environment and handling on all types of museum collections. The book also outlines care and handling requirements essential to those working with sensitive cultural materials. The information presented is at once practical, yet scholarly and based on the most current and extensive scientific research. It will serve collections care professionals and cultural heritage collections themselves very well for years to come. -D. Jordan Berson, SAA Preservation Publication Award Committee
