Abstract In this article the author details and reflects on her experience working with a Native cultural item and community stakeholders during graduate coursework at the UCLA/Getty Program. In the subject Conservation and Ethnography, collaboration with members of the Kumeyaay community informed the treatment of a southern California basket from the Barona Cultural Center & Museum. This subject provided a model for collaborative work that the author plans to draw upon in her career, with the experience reinforcing her understanding of her role as one of several caretakers an item has had and will have. Conservators should expect that many others, including Native peoples, makers, as well as cultural heritage professionals, will interact with collection items in diverse ways and that conservation decisions should facilitate this dynamic reality as part of an item’s continuing life history.

This first issue of 2022 has contributions that evaluate cleaning and drying techniques for damp fragile archaeological textiles, develop a recent interventive technique for translucent paper, map histories of past interventions to understand the preservation of a colossal metal sculpture, execute forensic recuperation of obsolete proprietary software, and reflect on the dynamic interactions of collection items and diverse people. In the first contribution by Sjoukje Telleman et al., ‘The Texel textile find revisited: the testing of cleaning and drying processes for historical wet rags’, the authors trial a range of cleaning and drying techniques on samples of still damp, fragmentary and degraded silk textiles from a seventeenth-century shipwreck in the Netherlands. Cleaning with a fine, controlled stream of water produced the best results, but also the greatest loss of material, and freeze-drying resulted in more flexible and less distorted samples. The authors do not provide any definitive ‘best’ combination of treatments, rather they offer insight into the risks and advantages of each method. Chiara Petiti et al.’s ‘Learning from history: the case of the San Carlone colossus after the test of time’, plots the possible reasons why a huge seventeenth century copper-clad iron statue in Italy remains in good condition, especially given that galvanic corrosion might be expected. Various interventions over the last three centuries are detailed via the statue and its archive, complemented with analyses using XRF, FTIR, ultrasound and conductivity testing as well as XRD, SEM/EDX, μ-FTIR and glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES), and from these the authors offer insights into its continued preservation. In the third article by Ute Henniges et al., ‘Microfibrillated cellulose films for mending translucent paper: an assessment of film preparation and treatment application options’, a recent method suggested for repairing tears in translucent papers is investigated. The authors produced custom-made microfibrillated cellulose films and compared their mechanical and optical properties as tear supports with commercially manufactured films and Japanese tissue. Accelerated ageing tests produced good visual results and their use on a collection item from the UK’s National Archives is detailed with the suggestion that bespoke films offer an acceptable and cost-effective technique for tear mends. AnnaMladentseva’s article, ‘Responding to obsolescence in Flash-based net art: a case study on migrating Sinae Kim’s Genesis’, submitted for the ‘Emerging Conservators’ special issue, is presented here as a seminal study in recouping works made in Adobe Flash which was discontinued in 2020.

Abstract Mending tears in translucent papers is a challenging task that requires mending materials with specific mechanical and optical properties. Recently, translucent films from microfibrillated cellulose have been suggested as an attractive alternative to traditional repair materials. We prepared custom films from a commercial microfibrillated cellulose suspension and compared their mechanical and optical properties as mending supports with commercially manufactured microfibrillated cellulose films and Japanese tissue. Tear mending of modern and historic translucent paper samples using the custom-made films and Klucel G or isinglass as adhesives showed satisfactory strength and resilience, and accelerated ageing tests yielded acceptable visual results. A case study on a translucent paper document from the collection of The National Archives, UK, is detailed. We conclude that custom-made tear mending materials from commercially available microfibrillated cellulose suspensions present a cost-effective and attractive approach for the mending of translucent papers.

Abstract Many internet artworks from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s used Adobe Flash technology for creating animated content. However, in the light of recent web standard developments (HTML5), Adobe has stopped supporting Flash and its related tools. The removal of Flash has made those net artworks non-functional and unviewable, including Sinae Kim’s Genesis (2001), the focus of this study. Recently proposed emulation- and virtualisation-based strategies are not always suitable, particularly if there is a desire to keep the artwork on the ‘live web’. This article outlines an alternative method of migration facilitated by reverse engineering techniques—specifically decompilation—and foregrounds the significance of maintaining online access to the obsolete Adobe Shockwave Flash (SWF) files through the source code. On this premise, the source code is re-imagined as a site for further re-enactment, allowing a departure from its current role as a marker of ‘authenticity’.

Abstract In the context of Australian cultural heritage management, conservation can contribute to the decolonisation of the sector by prioritising truth telling, repatriation and reconciliation when working with First Nations cultural heritage. Reflecting on a recent instance in which the heritage site Juukan Gorge was destroyed, we emphasise that the destruction of cultural heritage can create opportunities for change. Recognising the impact of dissociation as an agent of deterioration, we highlight community-led initiatives conserving First Nations cultural heritage within a variety of institutions and environments. The case studies examined reveal the value of a holistic approach to the conservation of cultural materials and how conservation can be a conduit for reconciling the relationships between Western and First Nations cultural heritage values and practices.

Abstract The concept of wellbeing has blossomed in recent years. While discussion of wellbeing has a longer lineage in economics, it is now a popular area of concern in cultural studies. The subject has seen special focus on mental and physical health, but also cultural identity, sense of belonging, and in emotional and spiritual connections to tangible or intangible heritage. Because the values-based application of wellbeing strengthens the argument for people-centred approaches and community empowerment, some museums are increasingly integrating the concept to justify their purpose and set their objectives within their administration and collections care. This article aims to analyse the scope and meaning of wellbeing as mobilised in four cultural institutions located in New Zealand and Scotland given that each country has committed to having a wellbeing policy framework at the national level.

Abstract Through a case study of the looting, sale, conservation and subsequent publication of ‘The Gospel of Judas’, this article examines if there is any ethical merit in conserving looted manuscripts. While fully acknowledging the extensive harm caused by looting, it explores the prevailing argument in archaeological circles that all looted artefacts must be ignored by conservators, given the logic that the blanket refusal to authenticate, conserve or research looted objects would decrease demand and their grey market value, and so prevent archaeological sites being robbed. However, this view, it is argued, is complicated by antiquities with written content and that conservation ethics leave room for conservators to use informed judgement on a case-by-case basis, especially as looted manuscripts have two types of context: archaeological and textual. By examining the experiences of a wide range of conservators and applying professional conservation ethics, the argument is made that there is still merit in conserving and publishing the textual content of otherwise unique, historic and badly deteriorated manuscript artefacts such as ‘The Gospel of Judas’. Conservators need to retain agency and uphold a duty of care to an object in order to help unlock and preserve landmark texts, so long as it is undertaken responsibly in the service of mitigating the harm done by looting as much as possible.

Abstract Heritage conservation is often seen as a predominantly technical enterprise, with decisions primarily made on the basis of facts rather than values. Significance and other object-centric values are recognised as having some impact, but such values are tied closely to the artefacts themselves. In this article we emphasise that this cannot be the whole story and argue that values from various domains outside the artefact–conservator relationship are also pertinent in the conservator’s decision-making. These may be societal, ethical, aesthetic, utilitarian, environmental, or some other subset of norms entirely. As such, we suggest that the profession must recognise the active, evaluative judgements that are being made by the conservator and ultimately it should offer support mechanisms that can help the conservator make better decisions. We end by highlighting some pathways that institutions may follow in order to ensure good decision-making when evaluative factors come into play, whether external or otherwise.

Abstract This article describes the chronological experience of an Indonesian conservator, a graduate of the University of Melbourne’s Master of Cultural Materials Conservation. It reviews the lessons learnt and the relevancy of classroom education in preparing him as a leader on two community engagement projects, as a supervisor on a disaster recovery project and as a cultural heritage conservator in the Bali Cultural Heritage Preservation Office. Given this experience the article focusses on the required ethics for Indonesian conservators working in the field, in particular when dealing with the conservation of living heritage and its community, as well as the cross-cultural work experience needed for the work. Moreover, it highlights an interesting case of a traditional (green) conservation practice that has been extensively promoted by the major conservation institution in Indonesia, Balai Konservasi Borobudur (Borobudur Conservation Office).
