A Note from the Director 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.

Conservation. Protection Note de contenu : Table of Contents Stonehenge in England, with throngs of visitors in 1976. In 2000, the World Heritage Site Management Plan for Stonehenge was completed. The process of drawing up the plan was guided by the Stonehenge World Heritage Site Management Plan Group, composed of over 50 people and organizations with an interest in the site. In order to "return the monument to its natural landscape setting," the government recently endorsed a plan to put a portion of a nearby highway underground and to construct a visitor center two miles from the site.

A Note From the Director Preserving What Matters: Value-Led Planning for Cultural Heritage Sites Looking after a heritage site would seem to be pretty straightforward, but in practice it is more complicated than it appears. These sites are not simply visitor attractions, there to provide a reasonable profit. What separates the management of heritage sites from other forms of property management is that its fundamental purpose should be to preserve the values ascribed to a site—be they aesthetic or historical or social. Protecting these values is what justifies a site's management in the first place. Building Consensus, Creating a Vision: A Discussion about Site Management Planning Discussion about Site Management Planning To provide some insight into current challenges in site management planning, we asked Christina Cameron, director general of National Historic Sites at Parks Canada, and Carolina Castellanos, an archaeological conservator who has worked closely with Mexico's Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, as well as others, to share their perspectives with us. Heritage Management in Africa The problem with many efforts to preserve and present cultural heritage in Africa seems to emanate from a failure to understand fully the cultural significance of the heritage and its value to local communities. A strategy to develop the heritage industry in Africa should reconcile the needs of the heritage and its environment with those of the general public. The future of conservation and heritage management in most African countries will depend on how much this management is viewed as enhancing the life and development of the area. The Latin American Consortium Last October, the Latin American Consortium—a network of preventive conservation educators that serves as a framework for various cooperative initiatives—marked its fourth anniversary. With this milestone, the Consortium, organized by the Getty Conservation Institute, began an important new phase in its development, as the GCI passed the management of the project over to the Graduate Studies Program in Visual Arts of the School of Fine Arts at Brazil's Federal University of Minas Gerais.
