Art technology and conservation magazine
The magazine for art technology and conservation (ZKK) is a scientific magazine for restorers and museums in the fields of materials science, the preservation of, the care of and the handling of cultural assets .
history
The magazine was founded in 1987. This was a reaction to the fact that at that time there was no magazine for restorers that was independent of the employee representatives, so there was no publication platform available for controversial technical issues of restoration between museums and restorers. As a result, the conflicts remained internal and a public discussion that would advance the debate did not take place. The magazine was also created as a means by which academically trained restorers increasingly wanted to distance themselves from the craft. Until 2000 the magazine was also the publication organ of the German Association of Restorers (DRV). At the beginning of 2001 the DRV merged with the Association of Restorers (VDR).
