FAIC Oral History Project[edit | edit source]

The Oral History Project, established in 1975 by the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation (FAIC), has resulted in the creation of an archive of transcripts of interviews with over 400 conservators, conservation scientists, and related professionals. These documents now form an invaluable record on the history of the field. Access the FAIC Oral History Project Interviewee List and visit the FAIC Website Oral History Page for more information on:

  • The History of the Project

History of Conservation[edit | edit source]

Information on milestones in the development of conservation disciplines.

History of Conservators, Labs & Studios[edit | edit source]

The AIC wiki offers an opportune platform for creating a biographical dictionary of conservators and conservation facilities (institutional and regional labs, private practices and studios) that will create:


Today’s active conservators quickly become tomorrow’s retired and forgotten figures about whom little information is readily available, as a result, entries are encouraged while information is available on relevant members of the field. While current practitioners may be listed, this site is meant to be used for documentation rather than business or referral purposes. To find a conservator who can provide client services please visit the AIC website’s Find A Conservator page.
