Described by Grayson Perry as ‘a weirdly mystical science’, conservation slows down how quickly our shared heritage falls apart so we can all enjoy it for longer.
Conservators are a strange mix of artist, crafts person, scientist, historian, time traveller and contortionist.
I have conserved letters from the Duke of Wellington and Admiral Lord Nelson; the papers and scores of Benjamin Britten, Imogen Holst and Gustav Holst; the photographs of the artist Keith Vaughan; and the archive of the National Resource Centre for Dance.
