UNESCO Appeals for theProtection of Timbuktu’sDocumentary HeritageUNESCO Director-General IrinaBokova voiced alarm over the safety ofTimbuktu’s invaluable cultural heritage,following reports that rebels have lootedcentres containing thousands of ancientbooks and documents that beartestimony to the city’s extraordinaryhistory. The Director-General appealedto all relevant authorities, includingMali’s warring factions, neighbouringgovernments, Interpol, customs organi-sations, the art market and collectors, tobe on the alert against any attempt totraffic items stolen from these centres.

The Director-General has contactednational authorities in countries sharingborders with Mali to remind them oftheir obligations under the provisions ofthe 1970 UNESCO Convention on theMeans of Prohibiting and Preventing theIllicit Import, Export and Transfer ofOwnership of Cultural Property. Mali

IIC – Croatian Group LaunchesWebsite

IIC – Croatian Group launched itswebsite in March. Two domains havebeen registered, www.iic-hrvatskagrupa.hr and www.iiccro.org.Currently, they are both in Croatian, but

the latter is hoped to offer the content inEnglish eventually.

Ksenija Škarić, president of the IIC –Croatian Group, says that the reason forlaunching the website was to offer apoint of access to relevant andpotentially interesting informationrelated to cultural heritage preservation.“The most important thing was todefine the audience,” explains MrsŠkarić. “We agreed that the website is oflocal significance and intended for theprofessional community in Croatia andother countries of this language area. Wetry to publish all information that mightinterest heritage professionals, and notjust report on the activities of the group.”

At present, the website has five majorcategories; general information aboutthe IIC – Croatian Group, as well as therecords of all meetings, can be found onthe site. Group's activities, such as thevisits to conservation studios inneighboring countries, public lecturesand other events, are presented in theform of short reports. Importantdocuments relating to conservation-restoration profession, some of whichhave been translated to Croatian, arealso available.

Many members of the IIC – CroatianGroup contributed to website's content.The website was designed by OrestŠuman, Igor Šuljić acts as theadministrator, while Ksenija Škarić editsthe content.

NiC in conversation with Stefan Belishki

The Department of Conservation at the NationalAcademy of Arts in Sofia was established in 1973 andsince then its main focus is education on paintingsand wall paintings conservation. This is a five-yearundergraduate-graduate course, and after its completionstudents obtain an MA degree. The course is quitesmall, with only six to eight students accepted everyyear. Several foreign students, mainly fromneighbouring countries (Greece, Serbia, Croatia andFormer Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) have alsobeen enrolled in it. This is the only officially accreditedcourse on conservation in Bulgaria to date. TheDepartment plans to introduce two new MAprogrammes: Conservation of Paper, Books andPhotographs and Conservation of Stone, Ceramics andMetal. The Academy has contact with the EuropeanNetwork for Conservation-Restoration Education(ENCoRE), but is not member of the Organisationyet. The Department is active on Erasmus exchangeprogramme too. The insufficient funding in the recentdecade reflected on the level of equipment andfacilities maintenance. The teaching staff put seriousefforts into compensating this problem by taking partin joined projects with other institutions.

Along with his teaching in the Academy, StefanBelishki devotes significant amount of his time tovolunteer work: he is chairman of the Association of

Conservator-Restorers in Bulgaria, President ofICOMOS-Bulgaria and member of ICOM (ICOM-CC).

Stefan believes that IIC congresses are amongst themost important professional and scientific forums. Hetook part in three of them at the Istanbul Congress in2010 presented a poster.

1 – What does the IIC membership means for youand your institution?

IIC membership is a network, it is the whole rangeof its publications, and it is a scientific forum. As anAcademic institution all of these aspects influence us,on our professional development, on the way weincrease our knowledge, on the work with students

and on the development of our programme. So for ourAcademy and for me personally, IIC is one of theinternational professional pillars we have always beenrelying on for increasing our professional standards.

Membership of IIC has a long history for ourAcademy and for our Conservation Department inparticular. Most often my colleagues refer to IIC for itspublications. In our library one can trace the issues ofStudies in Conservation back to 1970’s. They havealways been an important source for professionalinformation for our students and the teaching staff atour department. The Journal (Studies in Conservation)is a standard for reference of scientific publications inthe field of conservation.

We started taking part in IIC Congresses rather late.As far as I know the first attendance of our Academy toIIC Congress was in 2006 in Munich, where I was ableto take part thanks to a support given by the GettyGrant. Then in 2010 in Istanbul I presented a posterand hope to be able to contribute the same way inVienna, though reflecting on a very different subject.IIC Congresses are real places for networking and I’mvery happy to be able to be part of them.

With the fall of the “Iron curtain” our country facedsignificant financial difficulties and there was a risk of

discontinue our membership of IIC. With the help ofour British colleague Theo Sturge, who made personaldonations for several years, the membership of ourAcademy still continues. Now we are grateful for thechance to benefit from the Opportunities Fund, whichin my view is also of vital importance for us. I hopehowever, our Academy will be able to become morefinancially independent soon.

2 – As a recipient of the Opportunities Fund, whatare the immediate benefits for your institution?

The most visible and easily recognizable benefit isthe very fact that we can still be part of the bignetwork, of the big professional society that is IIC.One can also see the benefit of receiving IICpublications. Everybody is used to the arrival ofStudies in Conservation, where every three months wecan discover new achievements and interestingdiscussions and the email alerting us of thepublication of the new issue of News in Conservation.There is also special attention to the Congresses’proceedings. IIC recently donated to our department

many volumes of the Congress proceedings. They metimmediate interest both amongst the students and theprofessors. To some of these proceedings we haveaccess for the first time and it was really a generousgesture.

Benefits are not only access to publications; being arecipient of the Opportunities Fund is in a way astimulus for taking part in the IIC Congresses. Besides,taking part in a congress means represent a chance forcontribution to the professional society and to ourdiscipline in general. So I see it as two-way process.

3 – As you know the Opportunities Fund is madepossible thanks to donations from other IICmembers. How is your institution planning to sharesome of the benefits with the worldwide conservationcommunity?

I think one of the ways to share the benefits isthrough a more active contribution on our part to theIIC scientific program – to its publications andcongresses. On the other hand there is something notso measurable, and this is the effect of the increasedprofessionalism, shared in joined internationalprojects and other practical activities.

It is much easier to talk about sharing the benefitswith the professional community within Bulgaria.Many of the publications we keep in the Academy areopen for access to the colleagues working in othermuseums. They know that coming to our departmentthey will find the issues of Studies in Conservation e.g.I hope this way they will become more active insharing their knowledge and hopefully some of themwill become members of IIC. We recently discussedwith colleagues from the IIC Council an idea, which Ilike very much: to translate part of the summaries ofthe articles in Studies in Conservation in Bulgarian. Italked about this with some students of mine and theyreacted very positively. It will be a very good step

towards better dissemination of the professionalinformation and a step towards a more inclusive policy.

4 – We often hear of the importance of advocacy inconservation; what do you think are the best ways toconnect and share?

Advocacy in conservation is part of the newmentality of the professional conservators, who used

to stay behind the scenes quiet and invisible. Indeed,our work on the cultural heritage is supposed to beinvisible, but it doesn’t prevent us from having aproactive position in policy making with regard to theconservation of cultural heritage. There are variousinstruments to connect and share in this respect. Bigprofessional organisations like IIC, ICOMOS orICOM can express strongly their professional voice.On the international level advocacy may be expressedwith doctrinal texts, declarations, organisation of

scientific symposia etc., but to be successful I think itis important also to hear the voice of all stakeholdersin the process of conservation. Various mechanismscan be used, amongst them the use of modern media,including social networks on the Internet likeFacebook. In my observation IIC has been verysuccessful in this direction.

On the other hand local organisations, even atnational level, embracing the IIC ideas, can have animportant impact on the decision making process as

i Luxfordsubjected to wider and rapid fluctuations tounderstand the impact. However non-destructivemonitoring in real time of historic objects is also beingused to determine changes to collections caused bythe display environment. For the monitoringequipment, it is important to determine when normalchanges become damage in order to assess the impactof the display environment. If the collection hasseasonally changed, but not been damaged by thecurrent display environment, 30% RH may be thecorrect point at which to introduce additionalhumidifiers. The monitoring results from both thehistoric collection study and the laboratory testing willbe combined to recommend the most suitable displayenvironment.

To discuss what the term damage means for veneerand marquetry furniture collections, a seminar wasorganised in June 2011. This brought together a groupof conservators, curators, historians, scientists,collections managers and other heritage professionalsworking in areas related to furniture or on similarresearch. For example in figure 1, cracks within themarquetry sections can be seen along with lostsections and with the raking light the lifting areasbecome clearer. Terms like crack, loss and lift canoften be used to mean damage but in some caseslifting can just be a seasonal response to moisturechanges. The seminar used presentations, activitiesand discussion to determine the critical features thatdefine damage. These ideas have informed mydefinition of damage that will be utilised as a turningpoint marking when change becomes damage. Due to

Naomi Luxford‘Change or damage?’ is a three yearpost-doctoral research projectstudying changes to veneer andmarquetry furniture in historic houses.

The hygroscopic nature of wood means itcontinually responds to relative humidity (RH)fluctuations. Movement in response to moisturechanges is thought to lead to damage and is one of thereasons why a stable environment, often controlledusing air conditioning, is commonly used to displayveneer and marquetry furniture collections. Howeverwithin historic houses in the UK, air conditioning israrely found and installing it would significantly alterthe historic building fabric and its appearance. Due tothe limited environmental control possible withinhistoric houses, wide fluctuations and very low RHlevels during winter heating periods can be common.

To mitigate the risk of low RH levels in winter andprovide more stable RH levels, additional portablehumidifiers can be used. Currently at KenwoodHouse1 (the case study site) when the RH drops below30% additional humidifiers are installed withinhistoric rooms to prevent damage. However there is alack of understanding about how the furnitureresponds and whether 30% RH is the right point atwhich to do this; should it actually be 45% RH or even20% RH? The research has involved studyinglaboratory test pieces of marquetry which were
