New Text Available 
Conservation Treatment Methodology (Barbara  Appelbaum, Elsevier).  
Written for both conservators who carry out treatments  and custodians who 
participate in treatment decisions, the book is a practical guide to 
decision-making for conservation  treatments of all kinds of cultural material. It 
describes systematic ways to  address the difficult issues of use, meaning, and 
values.  Because these do not involve the  technical aspects of conservation, the 
book establishes a common ground on which  conservators and custodians can 
work together.   
Chapters also deal with the role of long-term  preservation in treatment 
decisions, efficient documentation paradigms, and  material choice. The 
methodology assures that treatments are responsive  to the needs of the custodian and 
future stakeholders, and is therefore as  relevant to non-fine-art settings like 
historic preservation, archives,  libraries, scientific collections, 
anthropological and archaeological  collections as it is to art.
