Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Icom Committee for Conservation, 5th Triennial Meeting, Zagreb, 1-8 October 1978
With the growth of interests in technical examination of artifacts and conservation practices, evidenced by the formation of the International Institute for the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works in 1950, an international subject committee on Museum Laboratories was established by icom in 1951, and this committee began to hold meetings Jointly with the Commission on the Care of Paintings every two years from 1955 to 1967. In the latter year, at a meeting in Bruxelles, it was decided to consolidate these two activities into one group the Committee for Conservation. Moreover, at the second meeting of the Committee for Conservation, held in Amsterdam in 1969, it was considered advisable to hold meetings of the full committee only every three years and hence the third meeting was held in Madrid in 1972, the fourth in Venice in 1975. In years when the full Committee was not scheduled to meet, the Directory Board has encouraged colleagues concerned with the activities of various working parties to hold smaller meetings devoted to special topics.
