'Conservation: Principles, Dilemmas, and Uncomfortable Truths'
presents multi-perspective critical analyses of the ethics and
principles that guide the conservation of works of art and design,
archaeological artefacts, buildings, monuments, and heritage sites
on behalf of society. Contributors from the fields of philosophy,
sociology, history, art and design history, museology,
conservation, architecture, and planning and public policy address
a wide range of conservation principles, practices, and theories
from the US, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, encouraging
the reader to make comparisons across subjects and disciplines. By
wrestling with and offering ways of disentangling the ethical
dilemmas confronting those who maintain and sustain cultural
heritage for today and tomorrow, 'Conservation: Principles,
Dilemmas, and Uncomfortable Truths' provides an essential reference
text for conservation professionals, museum and heritage
professionals, art and cultural historians, lecturers and students,
and all others invested in cultural heritage theories and
practices.
