| Introduction to the Preventive Conservation of Textiles | |
| A book by Christos Karydis | |
|
(in Greek)
The development of preventative strategies for large textile collections in the long term use is essential. The idea of this book came to the author after his PhD research of the textile collections of the most important Orthodox monastic centre in the Eastern Church called Holy Mountain of Athos. Results from the surveys of fourteen inhabitant monasteries suggest the need to prioritise preventive conservation, rather than interventive conservation. |

| The Lamo Centre at the Munshi House, Leh, Ladakh | |
| by Anca Nicolaescu | |

In Ladakh (a barren
desert situated at a height of between 3000-5000 meters above sea level
and located in the Northern Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir) you
don’t expect to meet many conservation projects. In fact, due to the
valuable Tibetan Buddhist heritage still existing in this area, you can
encounter various ongoing projects dealing with vernacular
architecture, traditional building techniques, murals, wooden
decorative paintings and urban planning preservation.

Professor Ioan Istudor,

in the field of conservation-restoration in Romania. In June 2007
e_conservation magazine interviewed this scientist who dedicated his
professional life to the study of works of art.
On his professional evolution, he marked important milestones on the history of conservation practice in his country and is still today highly regarded for his knowledge and experience. |
