H. J. Plenderleith was the Keeper of the Research Laboratory in the British Museum and wrote one of the first comprehensive text books on conservation, The Conservation of Antiquities and Works of Art (Oxford University Press London, 1956, reprinted with revisions in 1962 the second edition was published in 1971 and was reprinted in 1974).

The conservation profession has been compared with the medical profession because both are practiced within a framework of ethical standards and principles to limit the extent of any damage. National and international organizations including ICOM and International Institute for Conservation (IIC) have produced guidelines with several common principles (Pye, 2001) ...

Various introductory texts in this field have been prepared for conservators in the past decades (Torraca, 1968 Feller etal., 1971 Conservation Unit, 1992). Many more books are now available for schools and the general public that outline the concepts and properties of polymers. More detailed reference books that assume some knowledge of chemistry include Painter and Coleman (1997), Brydson (1999), and Cowie and Arrighi (2008). The reader is assumed to have access to publications of the International Institute for Conservation. Polymers that have been adequately described in those publications have been given a slighter treatment here to avoid duplication.
