Preservation Science

Preservation Science is the study of methods and materials used to protect and maintain cultural heritage, such as artworks, manuscripts, and historical objects. It involves understanding the materials' chemistry and environmental influences to prevent deterioration caused by factors like light, humidity, and pollutants. Through scientific analysis and testing, preservation scientists develop techniques to stabilize and conserve artifacts for future generations, ensuring their historical and cultural significance is preserved. Essentially, it combines science and craftsmanship to safeguard our shared history.
