The Making of History – or the Synergy Effect Between Contract Archaeology, the Conservation Institute and Museums

Abstract

The choices made by the conservator during the conservation process are as important in the making of history as any decision made by the archaeologist, the museum curator, historian, etc. As part of my research project in GRASCA I am addressing the issue of how the practice of conservation can and should contribute to the stake-holders common goal of communicating the past.
