Toxicology topics: An introduction presenting and explaining issues related to working not only with toxic substances in the context of conservation. Students will become familiar with protection options and practical information relevant to this area. Microbiology in conservation: Introduction to bacteria and moulds, their life cycles, their impact on heritage objects, and the working conditions of conservators. Methods for identifying infestations in objects and identifying the organisms involved. Wood: Wooden heritage objects and structural elements that form part of historic buildings. Chemical composition, degradation mechanisms of wood, and options for its protection and conservation. Metals: A focus on procedures for the conservation of metal componentsparticularly iron, copper, brass, and silverwith emphasis on cleaning and subsequent protective measures against potential corrosion. Seals: An introduction to the field of sphragistics. The composition, degradation mechanisms, and conservation possibilities of wax seals, resinbased seals, case-mounted seals, and bullae. Additional topics may be added to the course, or the topics mentioned above may be replaced depending on current requirements of students and instructors, or the evolving professional demands placed on conservators.
