The Group was founded (as a UKIC Section) in response to the growing emphasis on project based conservation especially within historic buildings. The Group's aim is to bring together conservators and other specialists from a wide variety of disciplines and to foster the exchange of ideas and information. It also hopes to provide both practical guidance and moral support and to help raise the profile of conservation in a wider context.
Members include a wide range of practicing conservators, architects, archeologists, curators, interior designers and many others actively involved with Historic Interiors
Events are a mix of the serious and the fun: a conference at West Dean, a costume dinner, a seminar at Apsley House and an evening reception atop the Wellington Arch.
We always welcome ideas and suggestions and encourage members to share interesting case studies, topics for discussion, information and news.
