The Historic Interior: Commissioning & Managing Conservation Research

A three day programme based at West Dean College near Chichester designed for Project Conservators, Property Managers, Curators, Historic Building Inspectors, Conservation Officers and Conservation Architects who wish to undertake or commission research in historic interiors to gain an understanding of their development. The course begins with a consideration of why we decide to conserve or re-present historic interiors, before examining the different methods of analysis commonly undertaken as part of the investigation of historic interiors with reference to completed case studies.

Mechanisms for monitoring research programmes and the effective utilisation of research findings to formulate conservation options are evaluated. During the course delegates will be set short assignments and asked to prepare research strategies and devise representation programmes, based on given on-site observations and documentation. A general overview of material analysis and architectural paint research techniques will be provided.
