#512016-04-22 16:53The expertise of conservators is being reduced on a professional level by (museum) para professionals who have little understanding of the field yet believe a social media discussion list can provide them with all the information necessary to make decisions about treatment and treatment methods. This decision in France actually indicates an overall casual attitude and reduction in the importance and preservation of their culture...art, language, fashion..food and wine.. all of it. |

#53 Re:2016-04-22 17:05#8: - Could not agree more with this comment. Conservation professionals have been fighting internationally for some time to receive the same recognition and financial compensation as their peers and colleagues in curatorial and administrative roles. This type of misrepresentation undermines all of these efforts and negates the years of education, training, ethical standards and professional practice that conservation professionals undergo in order to work in their field. |

#552016-04-22 17:50I have had great difficulty getting work visas for professionally trained conservators, who are non nationals, because our specialized international profession is not correctly identified as highly skilled and trained, even with an end degree Masters Program Certification. We must all work together to make professional exchanges easier and recognize the validity of our training. |

#562016-04-22 18:14In 1978 the Simon Rodia Towers in Watts (The Watts Towers) was threatened by an wrongly planned "restoration" by a crony set-builder of an LA CITY employee charged with the "repair." The Committee To Save The Watts Towers and local professionals in the art and art conservation community such as myself, Stravko Barov of the Getty Museum's Antiquity Conservation Department, and Bill Ginell of the Getty Conservation Institute rallied to stop this travesty from happening. Today, it remains, and is now under the expert guidance of ART CONSERVATION PROFESSIONALS from The Los Angeles County Museum and UCLA's vast academic resources. |

#582016-04-22 20:17Conservators have a specialized trained expertise and should not be categorized with craftsman. |

#592016-04-22 21:52I signed because it has been my experience that some people try to convince owners that "they are qualified as practitioners of conservation, but know a better less expensive way to achieve the same result without regard to reversibility and use of conservation chemicals. |

#602016-04-22 23:03 Recognition of the skill, training, knowledge, and experience required to practice as a qualified conservator is crucial to ensure the appropriate care and stewardship of cultural heritage. Ignoring it not only does a disservice at the individuals working in the field and the profession as a whole, but also undermines the level of academic research and the advances that the conservation community has made in our understanding of history and culture. Furthermore, failing to adequately acknowledged the requirements of caring for the artifacts that constitute humanity's cultural history puts those artifacts at risk, belittles their significance, and jeopardizes the future development of art and culture as we know it. |

#612016-04-23 11:43Because we are professionals with professional training and should be recognized as such. |

#622016-04-23 12:17Conservation requires expertise in multiple disciplines and a network of resources that is unlikely to be found in individuals who have not undergone conservation studies and training. |

#632016-04-23 15:42I have many French colleagues who were trained as book or paper conservators in Paris and several of the younger conservators have worked with me as interns at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. I fully support your efforts to have conservation-restoration recognized as a profession that requires many years of training and work experience and should not be placed on the same level as artisans and craftsmen. |

#642016-04-23 22:26It is absolutely critical that conservation is recognized as a profession requiring extensive education, training and skill. The multidisciplinary knowledge base requires practitioners to document conditions, analyze problems and select a treatment much the way doctors proceed in their profession. Conservation is no less demanding. |
Guest |
#652016-04-25 17:44The education of conservators based on sound scientific background is crucial for a skillfull and knowledgeable performance of conservation and restoration treatments. |

#662016-04-26 14:32Conservators shall be grouped with professionals, scientists, teachers, engineers and art historians etc. They are par with them. |
