Surface Cleaning and Conservation
The cleaning of works of art and historic monuments—as an evolving idea and in practice—has had a long history. Since ancient times, the condition of cleanliness has been understood as a symbol of purity and integrity. In later periods, when decay and patina were appreciated as testimony of genuine origin and true age, cleaning was less favored by many. Today, with cooperation between conservators, art historians, and scientists, a balanced understanding of the problems of cleaning seems to have been reached, one that relies on a common agreement of the historical uniqueness of every artistic or cultural relic.
Finding a Certain Balance: A Discussion about Surface Cleaning
Three conservators that head up Getty Museum conservation departments—Brian Considine of decorative arts and sculpture, Mark Leonard of paintings, and Jerry Podany of antiquities—discuss some of the philosophical and technical issues related to the surface cleaning of objects in museum collections.
The Gels Cleaning Research Project
In the early 1980s, Richard Wolbers of the University of Delaware introduced gels cleaning systems to the conservation community. Because of important advantages, these cleaning systems are now widely used in conservation lab practice. The GCI—in collaboration with colleagues at the Winterthur Museum, Gardens, and Library, the Winterthur—University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation, the Chemistry Department of California State University, Northridge, and the Getty Museum—has been carrying out in-depth research on the gels cleaning systems and their long-term effects on painted surfaces.
Preservation in St. Petersburg
As St. Petersburg prepares for its 300th birthday in 2003, the St. Petersburg International Center for Preservation is assuming a vital role as the only noncommercial organization devoted exclusively to cultural heritage preservation in this World Heritage City. The mission of the Center—an independent organization backed by a coalition of institutions in St. Petersburg, the United States, and Europe—is to encourage and facilitate modern conservation strategies through professional programs in education and training, information services, collaborative scientific research, and heritage advocacy.

Front cover: Detail of a French lithograph, Woman with Prayer Book, showing pronounced mold growth on the print's surface. Although this work—part of the collection of the Shelburne Museum in Vermont—was stored in a climate-controlled area, the tempered air was not properly circulated. During the summer months, the room's relative humidity reached levels high enough to support mold growth. Following the hiring of a conservator by the museum in 1982, the storage conditions of this and other paper artifacts were modified, and visible mold was removed from this particular print.

Effective Preservation: From Reaction to Prevention
While many professions have become exceedingly narrow, preventive conservation has evolved to become one of the most interdisciplinary of fields. It uses knowledge from materials science, building science, chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, systems science, and management, as well as a host of technical fields. Decision making in this context can be exceedingly complex—which is why many in the profession are turning to risk management approaches that embrace uncertainty.
Sustainable Access: A Discussion about Implementing Preventive Conservation
Sarah Staniforth, Richard Kerschner, and Jonathan Ashley-Smith—three conservators who have devoted much time and thought to the application of preventive conservation—talk with the GCI's James Druzik and Jeffrey Levin about how the results of conservation research can be applied in a practical way.
Illuminating Alternatives: Research in Museum Lighting
One area where preservation risks can probably be more effectively managed is museum lighting. In 2002, new research on museum lighting helped prompt an experts meeting, organized by the GCI, that addressed questions involving the lighting of old master drawings. From that meeting's discussions, it was evident that there were a number of strategies that could improve the display lifetime of works of art on paper. The GCI is now pursuing a research program on the subject.
Climate Controls for Historic Buildings: A New Strategy
Many museums, libraries, and archives housed in hot and humid regions have sought to reduce the threat posed by biological infestation by controlling relative humidity through the use of air-conditioning systems. But use of these systems can result in other problems. For this reason, the GCI has been conducting research to identify and test alternative systems that are robust, sustainable, and simple to operate.
