  • Long distance recruitment for preservation activity: e.g. recruit someone in LA who is familiar with the material to come and do it
  • Keep record of conservation history related to the object, and link it to authority files: 'specialist' table - 'material' field
  • Track conservation process
  • Depending on what type of object it is, needs travel reports
  • Need the authority to carry on
  • Security/insurance when in care of the conservator
  • Conservation file - recording the conservation work/history/future treatments
  • Requirements for long-term continued care around the object, and specify the 'who'
