The Institute of Conservation

http://www.instituteofconservation.org.uk/



The Institute of Conservation is a body formed by five conservation organisations (Care of Collections Forum, Institute of Paper Conservation, Photographic Materials Conservation Group, Scottish Society for Conservation and Restoration, and United Kingdom Institute for Conservation) "pooling their resources and expertise to provide a service for the public, our cultural heritage and the members". The Institute's site is well-organised, and shaping up to be a comprehensive and good quality resource. As well as the obligatory 'About us' section, it includes useful conservation profiles of the UK nations and regions, a small page of links, coverage of policy and publications, and a range of dedicated content for members.

United Kingdom Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (UKIC)

http://www.ukic.org.uk/



UKIC is the professional body representing those who care for the country's cultural objects and heritage collections. According to the site, "its members are conservators working in public institutions such as museums and galleries, and conservators and restorers working in the private sector". Members of the Institute normally belong to one or more of its twelve specialist sections - Archaeology, Ceramics and Glass, Ethnography, Furniture and Wood, Gilding and Decorative Surfaces, Historic Interiors, Metals, Paintings, Photographic Materials, Stained Glass, Stone and Wall Paintings, or Textiles - and the organisation of the website reflects these various specialisms. The site also features up-to-date news (including the forthcoming 'convergence' with other conservation organisations to form a new 'Institute of Conservation'), details about membership and publications, and a 'members only' area. A simple but effective site. [GAS, 24 Aug 2005].
