- Abstract
Restoration techniques are described for the treatment of iron and steel artefacts, including those recovered from marine, freshwater and surface sites. Subsequent protection is considered in the light of recently published Codes of Practice for the protection of modern iron and steel structures. The special requirements for historic artefacts and their influences on coating selection and exhibit locat1on are discussed. It is proposed that greater advantage should be taken of skills within the industrial community. Examples are given whereby relevant companies have enthusiastically participated in the technical investigation of artefacts and, even though not skilled in 'conservation' as such, have made significant contributions to their subsequent public display.
