Theory, History, and Ethics of Conservation

The goal of the Working Group Theory, History, and Ethics of Conservation is to promote research on the theoretical and historical aspects of the conservation profession. This working group is among the few whose members have varied interests and backgrounds rather than a shared focus on a specific material or type of object. Thus the group takes an interdisciplinary approach to issues.
