The Australian Archives A.C.T. Conservation Laboratory performs
various tasks relating to the preservation program.
The two streams of work - Treatment of Materials and Laboratory
Services are considered to be of equal importance.
The first deals with the actual treatment of items in the
collection while the latter concerns preventive conservation,
During the period of my internship I have carried out most
of the Laboratory Services which I will discuss in this dissertation
with the exception of Disaster Planning. I was
also involved in the treatment of various objects from the
Australian Archives collection as well as from other government
agencies, completed with written and photographic documentation.
One of the projects, taking several months of
treatment, was a series of old letter books containing letters
from the Administrator in Sydney to the Chief Magistrate
of Norfolk Island.
This project, along with the conservation of some other government
records, demonstrates the difference between archival
conservation and conservation of other art and cultural
objects.
Attendances at technical seminars and conferences are also
discussed.
