Miriam Clavir (Museum of Anthropology,
University of British Columbia, Canada)
Conservation and collaboration
Clavir reviews changes in the last thirty years, using Canada as an
example, that have prompted conservation’s material-based field to incorporate
values related to the intangible attributes of objects in museum collections.
The following questions are then asked: today, are the conservation field’s own
self-image of what we do, the idea employers have of our competencies, and what
is taught in our conservation training programs, sufficiently addressing
concerns indigenous people have voiced in relation to the preservation of their
belongings? In addition, can we say that collaboration is now a
recognized conservation skill? She will illustrate three examples where
relationships are part of a project’s goal, not just conservation.
