Abstract

This paper examines how museum practice around decolonisation is reflected in conservation practice. It reviews changing conservation attitudes through guidelines and seminal publications. It charts changes in conservators’ approach, especially regarding the treatment of artefacts belonging to Indigenous and underrepresented groups, mainly in the UK and English-speaking world. I suggest that current changes to conservation practice are not radical but are part of a slow and considered trajectory.
