Conservation Concerns: A Guide for Collectors and Curators

The book, Conservation Concerns, is not a large publication, but I found every page had advice, help, and examples of how to conserve historic artifacts. Included are recommendations on construction materials, storage of works, care of photographs and what to do if items are damaged. Textile and metal conservation is discussed. A detailed appendix is included with references to sources mentioned in the text and a reading list. I am very pleased with the purchase.

This book covers a lot of material in 150 pages yet it contains 22 chapters beyond the introduction. Each concise chapter treats a different subject so you can easily find what you need. Various authors have contributed their expertise. The editor has united these voices into a useful guide. Diagrams illustrate storage possibilities and how some types of damage occur. An appendix gives a list of resources and is followed by a reading list.
