"Conservation Matters in Wales: Doing things differently"
National Museum Cardiff
Tuesday 13th December
A free one day conference organised by Amgueddfa Cymru: National Museum Wales,
The Federation of Museums and Art Galleries of Wales and
Cardiff University.
We would like to invite speakers to respond to a call for papers on the theme
"Doing Things Differently". Ideas for workshops or panel discussions are also
welcomed.
Heritage and conservation is changing and this conference will celebrate
conservators who do things differently.
We are interested in exploring the following themes:
* Skills and techniques: How has your conservation practice developed or
evolved? Are you using your conservation skills in unexpected places or
different ways? Have you created a new treatment, innovated a new approach or
lead improvements? How are you working with new technology?
* Who pays for conservation?: Has the funding for your work changed? Are
you responding to increasing commercial use of a heritage asset you are
responsible for? Are grant funders asking you do things differently?
* People and Partners: Have you changed the way you work with others? Has
the role of volunteers changed? Are you forming new partnerships to facilitate
greater collections access? Does conservation have a different place in your
community?
Proposals are welcomed from those inside and outside of Wales.
If you are interested in speaking please send a brief outline to
