Abstract
ABSTRACT Art conservation science education is intertwined with the education of conservators. An apropos quote from Dr. Christopher Tahk, former scientist and director at the Cooperstown and later Buffalo State art conservation graduate training program, clearly describes this relationship and sums up the success of the science curriculum in the art conservation training programs “students are going out now, becoming conservators and understanding science, and so they can talk with scientists and there is a more of a rapport between the two.” Conservation science education has evolved to better achieve this aim, and this article highlights, discusses, and reflects on the challenges presented to conservation science educators, while examining possibilities and hopes for the future.
期刊介绍:
The American Institute for Conservation is the largest conservation membership organization in the United States, and counts among its more than 3000 members the majority of professional conservators, conservation educators and conservation scientists worldwide. The Journal of the American Institute for Conservation (JAIC, or the Journal) is the primary vehicle for the publication of peer-reviewed technical studies, research papers, treatment case studies and ethics and standards discussions relating to the broad field of conservation and preservation of historic and cultural works. Subscribers to the JAIC include AIC members, both individuals and institutions, as well as major libraries and universities.
