What is Restoration and Conservation?

 

The restoration and conservation of metals is the activity devoted to the protection and preservation of historical (religious, artistic, technical and ethnographic) and archaeological objects made partly or entirely of metal. This includes all the activities aimed at preventing or slowing deterioration of items, as well as, improving accessibility and readability of them as objects of cultural heritage. Despite the fact that metals are generally considered as relatively permanent and stable materials, in contact with the environmental elements they deteriorate gradually, some faster and some much slower.  This applies especially to archaeological finds.
