Interviews in Conservation Research is a growing oral history collection to inform research in conservation, restoration and presentation of works of art and cultural heritage in the Netherlands and beyond. Generally conducted by museum professionals and relatively inaccessible, such interviews with artists, assistants, conservators, curators, collectors, designers and material specialists are now being made available, supported by research through the Interviews in Conservation Initiative. The interviews focus on the art-making processes in relation to underlying ideas and the socio-cultural context as well as cultures of conservation. The collection is ongoing and additions are welcome to build a rich collection of unique source material to help sustain our cultural heritage for future generations.
