Research and a knowledge of artistic intent is always considered a fundamental requirement of any conservation treatment. Methodical examination and testing is done in order to ascertain the materials, underlying structure, and condition of all objects prior to physical treatment. All aspects of preservation and preventative conservation are analyzed including environmental factors, care and handling, impact of treatment, disaster preparedness, inherent vice, and ongoing maintenance. Chemical and physical causes of deterioration and damages are examined enabling implementation of strategies for preventative care. Documentation and post-treatment reports are written in a thoroughly clear and comprehensive manner outlining all methods, materials, historical research and ongoing maintenance recommendations.
