- Abstract
Following the recovery of the remains of an electric tramcar built for Ballarat in 1905, the Museum undertook the preparation of a conservation Plan using the Institute's Heritage Guidelines. The paper reviews the background history of the tramcar, its place and significance in the development of Ballarat. The considerations determining the work needed to return it to an operable condition and the advantages from undertaking of the process itself are examined. The process gave a far better understanding of the cultural heritage of the object itself and resulted in better considered decisions.
