As proud supporters of up and coming and student conservators, we regularly publish our favourite conservation case studies from students around the world on our popular LinkedIn page to share with our network. As the new term starts, here we showcase the best conservation case studies we’ve seen so far in 2015 which will be especially useful for those about to embark on a new term to start their career as a conservator.
