Conservators are professionals who work to preserve and protect cultural heritage items, such as artworks, historical documents, and artifacts. They use various techniques and materials to repair damage and prevent deterioration, ensuring that these items can be enjoyed by future generations. Their work often involves careful examination and analysis to determine the best methods for conservation. In addition to physical restoration, conservators also document the condition and treatment of items, providing valuable information for future care. They may work in museums, galleries, or private collections, collaborating with curators and archivists to maintain the integrity of cultural heritage.
