A learning outcome for the Bachelor module leather, its history, tannage and conservation is presented. Learning activation is enabled by changing lecture styles with the help of videos, original material and daily life memory links. The voting system PINGO can be used as activation form as well as pre-assessment format. The range of assessment styles ranges from oral and written presentation to a novel form of capturing video sequences. The production of minute-videos enable a different view to a process, helps to understand the topic of the lecture und activates the students enormously.","PeriodicalId":21154,"journal":{"name":"Restaurator.

Furthermore, theme-centred expert interviews were conducted with conservators who had worked for the collection. A literature review of common bleaching methods in paper conservation helped putting our observations into the larger context of scientific discourse at the time. During the period under study the main bleaching agents were hydrogen peroxide combined with diethyl ether and chloramine T. There were uncertainties regarding pre- and post-treatment options such as washing, deacidification and “anti-chlorine baths”. In general, treatment protocols and interviews reflect the state of published research of that time.","PeriodicalId":21154,"journal":{"name":"Restaurator.

Based on the history of passe-partouts, the professionalisation of paper conservation in Vienna can be described. Passe-partouts of drawings and prints were chronologically classified. The collection history, the appearance of the passe-partouts as well as inventory catalogues and collection stamps served to classify the passe-partouts. The prints were mounted on back mounts at the beginning of the 19th century, after 1822 they were stored in albums. Since 1900, prints were removed from the albums, from nationalisation in 1919 onwards, they were set in passe-partouts. The drawings, however, were always kept in passe-partouts. At the beginning, these only consisted of back mounts. In the 1860ies, they were supplemented by a window mount. The hinged window mount that appeared in the 1960ies has been complemented with a cover sheet since the 1990ies.","PeriodicalId":21154,"journal":{"name":"Restaurator.

The history of the institutional education of library conservators in the U.S. has been surveyed elsewhere in this issue. This essay will begin by reviewing some recent history and describing current collaborative efforts to educate conservators in this specialty within the three comprehensive graduate programs in cultural heritage conservation in the U.S.: The Conservation Center at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts (IFA), the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation (WUDPAC), and SUNY Buffalo State’s Garman Art Conservation Department (SUNY Buffalo State), hereafter referred to as the Consortium. This essay will conclude by addressing several ideas for future directions in the education of library and archive conservators. In 2016, the Consortium approached the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to request funding of a survey of library and archive institutions in the U.S. with the stated goal “to determine priorities and identify areas of both strength and weakness regarding the skills and competency of conservators entering the workforce” (Waller and Thomas 2016, i). Concurrently, the Mellon Foundation funded planning grants to explore potential future directions in the education of library and archive conservators. One grant investigated the establishment of a library and archive conservation education program at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) within their Program in Library and Information Science, another considered the continued funding of the collaborative LACE curriculum","PeriodicalId":21154,"journal":{"name":"Restaurator.

The acquisition of practical skills, which include cognitive and practical elements, is governed by laws that are primarily explained by means of organizational psychology and medicine where they have evolved in the form of step models. Stages of explicit and implicit knowledge are distinguished as well as factual-theoretical and practical-performative knowledge. Forms of learning are, in addition to guided learning, the experiment, the emergency, case studies and implicit forms of problem solving. The development of the expert can also be traced by the development of practical skills in five stages from beginner to expert. The stages of skills acquisition can be explained by reference to the European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning (EQF) and the skill levels defined by the European Confederation of Conservator-Restorers’ Organizations (E.C.C.O.).","PeriodicalId":21154,"journal":{"name":"Restaurator.

While conservators are more often than not confronted with previously treated objects, investigations have generally been confined to case studies focusing on the conservation history of single objects. A systematic approach to the development of methods and materials is certainly a rewarding, yet challenging undertaking. For one part, conservators are typically busy facing daily challenges of their institution’s or studio’s operations with little time left to reflect on the past. Furthermore, written or photographic documentation from the early days of conservation is often fragmentary or nonexistent. Knowledge and experience have been passed on orally, and writing, let alone publishing has not been the main form of communication, even within formal University based training programs. Consequently, rather unconventional sources have to be explored when researching conservation practices, including studio journals, notes, accounts of senior colleagues and, last but not least, the objects themselves. This special issue of the RESTAURATOR will broach the subject from different angles. The contributions of Eva Maria Loh and Katarzyna Garczewska-Semka on the history of mounts at the Albertina respectively the National Library of Poland are mainly based on observations of the actual mounted prints and drawings. Conducting interviews with senior conservators who have been working in these collections for many years has proven an immensely valuable source in this regard. Interviews with both employees and contracted conservators were also included in Elina Eder’s study which investigates bleaching practices as documented in conservation protocols at the Wien Museum. It is also interesting to trace the roots of today’s paper conservation in literature published by prints collectors in previous centuries. Eva Hummert focuses her paper on the history of resizing as outlined in conservation literature from the seventeenth century onwards. From its first mentioning in books for collectors of prints on paper to its current application in modern paper conservation, the meaning and frequency of application of resizing have changed","PeriodicalId":21154,"journal":{"name":"Restaurator.

A recent discovery of his work associated with old master prints at the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung München has allowed a close study of his methods and skills as well as those of his pupil Ludwig Albert von Montmorillon (1794–1854), providing a fresh perspective on the early history of paper conservation. Von Hermann’s method of facsimile inserts was praised by his contemporaries, before Max Schweidler (1885–1953) described these methods in 1938. The present article provides biographical notes on both nineteenth century restorers, gives examples of prints treated by them and adds a chapter of conservation history crediting them with a place in the history of the discipline. In summary, this offers a surprising insight on how works of art used to be almost untraceably restored by this team of Munich-based restorers more than 150 years before Schweidler.","PeriodicalId":21154,"journal":{"name":"Restaurator.

The LED can be placed in closer proximity to the object than the HID lamps, causing a significantly increased, uniform light exposure. Two commercial LED systems with 4000 K and 6500 K colour temperature were installed in a convertible test device with a polypropylene tray in default exposure distance of 10 cm and 20 cm. A HID lamp in 60 cm and 120 cm distance served as a reference. Samples of two naturally aged rag papers were bleached with both LED systems and with the HID while immersed in water. All three light sources increased brightness (CIELAB L*), though the LEDs with 4000 K colour temperature were most effective. They had no negative effect on the molar mass and the cellulose carbonyl group content while LEDs with 6500 K colour temperature caused molar mass decrease and carbonyl group increase. LEDs of a 4000 K or similar colour temperature are a promising option for improved light bleaching of paper, reducing the treatment and aqueous exposure time and eliminating UV radiation.","PeriodicalId":21154,"journal":{"name":"Restaurator.
