The care and treatment of heritage resources requires specialized knowledge and skills that are applied within the context of clear management goals, values and strategies. This course provides a detailed survey of the philosophical, ethical and practical aspects of physical conservation of heritage resources and strengthens your capacity to recommend appropriate approaches to conservation treatments. Please note that, given the highly technical nature of many conservation treatments, this course focuses on planning for conservation treatments rather than on specific interventions that require the skills of trained conservators.
