EXCERPT: PREFACE The author, Dr Nathan Stolow, organized and established the Canadian Conservation Institute in 1972, being its first Director until he left in 1975. He was Special Adviser (Conservation) to the National Museums of Canada in Ottawa until 1979. He has lectured widely and frequently acted as a consultant for museums and institutions in several countries. Recently he has been conservation consultant to the Irish Treasures Exhibition in the United States of America (1977-1979), and a special lecturer in the museology programmes at the University of Ottawa and at the Unesco Centre in Mexico City. He is co-ordinator of a special working group in the International Council of Museums, and holds office in various museological and conservation bodies. At present, he is an independent conservation consultant on works of art and is based in Ottawa, Canada . . . INTRODUCTION This book is a practical guide for curators, registrars, administrators and museum and gallery workers on the care, handling, packing and transport of objects and works of art for exhibition and travel. It emphasizes conservation principles and looks closely at the physical environment and deterioration phenomena. The understanding of these principles is important for the development and maintenance of good standards in the care of collections. A primary standard is to maintain the object or work of art under optimum conditions at all times - in storage, in the gallery, during travel, and on exhibition elsewhere . . .
