Reference sites - Labo INP

On this page, I suggest some reference sites (non-exhaustive) about conservation-restoration. Professional training courses and publications are accessible. They cover all specialities according to the creation media. In addition to the scientific aspect, they also offer an anthropological and sociological approach to the works and question our relationship to them.

It is essential to continue training and to monitor techniques. Indeed, they are constantly improving and challenging our practices and the products used. In addition, feedback from other conservators-restorers at conferences allows for the sharing of information. Meetings, training courses and publications are an indispensable source for the evolution of our practices. Here are some reference sites:
