Minimal intervention in book conservation - Dr. Patricia Engel, Researcher at University of Graz (Austria)
Minimal intervention is a term coming from humane medicine and means “doing as much as needed and at the same time as little as possible”. This new philosophy in medical care can be very well applied in book conservation too. It is beneficial for the historical books. How this minimal intervention can be done in practice, what philosophy thesections are based on and why we should use minimal intervention will be shown in the presentation.
