Committee for Conservation (ICOM-CC)
Two documents describe the ideals of the ICOM-CC:
- The "Bylaws of the ICOM Committee for Conservation"
- The Code of ethics: "The Conservator/Restorer: A Definition of the Profession"
- Scientific investigations into objects of significance to cultural and natural history.
- Optimizing solutions to conservation problems.
- Developing standard techniques and manuals.
- Planning disaster management and preventive conservation.
Each Working Group is made up of members interested in a specific area of research and is linked by a co-ordinator appointed by the members themselves.
Here we present and discuss the results of three years work. These contributions are published in the conference preprints, which constitute one of the most important publications in the field of conservation. About 1.200 papers have been published between 1980 and 1993 alone.
