CONSERVATION OF WOOD ARTIFACTS - A UNGER AP SCH...

The impetus for this book was the desire to systematically organize the extant literature on
the conservation of cultural property made of wood  from its beginnings before the Christian
Era to the year 2000. Various published reviews and monographs  including Holzkonservierung
(Wood Conserva tion) published by the senior author in 1988  have appeared over the years 
especially in English and in German. They have provided exemplary treat merit of individual
areas or aspects of wood conservation  but a comprehen sive  up-to-date exposition of historic
and current developments has been lacking. The diverse professional fields of the authors  as
well as their insights into methods of conservation and restoration of wood artifacts in Europe
North America  and Asia provided a solid basis for the success of this under taking. One of the
goals during the examination of the literature was that not only well-known conservators and
scientists from countries that are leaders in wood conservation should be represented  but that
less well-known  often not as readily accessible contributions should also be included. Only in
this manner was it possible to draw a comprehensive picture of the national and international
state of wood conservation. The Art and Archaeology Technical Abstracts (AATA) of the Getty
Institute were very helpful in our efforts to evaluate as many publications as possible.
