We want your feedback: documentation needs assessment for ARIS

6 September. ICCROM is conducting a needs assessment on documentation in conservation. This is to determine the needs of professionals and gauge their interest in continuing with the ARIS (Architectural Records, Inventories and Information Systems Conservation) courses, held between 2003 and 2009.

Good conservation decisions are made with knowledge of the significance, history, past interventions and current conditions of cultural resources. This is collectively known in the conservation field as documentation and includes research in historical records, inventories, measurement and imaging tools as well as information management.

Please take a few minutes to fill out our survey. Your responses will greatly assist us in designing future courses and focusing our efforts more effectively. All responses will remain anonymous.
