This edition explores how conservation responds to extraordinary circumstances, from protecting heritage in conflict zones and working in some of the planet’s harshest environments, to reflecting on a lifetime in the profession.
Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll find inside:
- Imagining the Future: Book and paper conservators Amalina Kohli Davè and Giovanni Pagani discuss teamwork, collaboration and human resilience in protecting the manuscripts of the Great Omari Mosque in Gaza
- The Test of Time: Sixty years after he joined the British Museum, Andrew Oddy reflects on his career and the test that bears his name
- Freeze Frame: Dr Ruth Mullett and Lesley Johnston, from UK Antarctic Heritage Trust, explain how photogrammetry is helping to document Wordie House in Antarctica
- Constable Calling: On the 250th anniversary of John Constable’s birth, Sarah Cove ACR looks back on 40 years of the Constable Research Project
You’ll also find Mito Matsumaru ACR on conserving one of Mozart’s manuscripts at the Royal Collection Trust, Emily MacMillan on how a chance discovery led to her career at the British Library, and Albert Traby Urios ACR on the Capponi–Van Thielt ledger stone at St Olave’s Church in London.
