| description | Collaboration between conservators and custodians is an important part of conservation treatment planning, particularly while deciding on the treatment goal. Custodians need to understand more about the treatment decision-making process in order to participate in a meaningful way and to assure that treatment decisions are consistent with the current use, meaning, and values of a work of art. Meaningful collaboration is, however, rare, made difficult by a lack of understanding among the parties, and exacerbated by conservators’ habitual use of technical language. It is possible – and desirable - for conservators to discuss the treatment decision-making process using non-technical terminology so that real collaboration can take place. |
