Good conservation decisions are made with an understanding of the significance, history, past interventions, and current conditions of cultural resources. Records, inventories, and information management tools assist in creating that understanding. These items are continuously being developed and their use must be considered as a fundamental part of the conservation process.
To address the need for greater expertise in this area, the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) and the Getty Conservation Institute will again be offering an international course on architectural records, inventories, and information systems for the conservation of cultural heritage. The course—to be held September 2–October 2, 2009, at ICCROM headquarters in Rome—will focus on the needs, methodology, and techniques for acquiring and using this knowledge. ARIS09 will draw upon the vast wealth of cultural material in Rome and will be taught by leading experts in the field.
Additional information on the course is available. Applications are due by February 16, 2009.
