Despite globalization, independent conservators in Switzerland have problems finding and sharing approaches to the conservation of culturally-relevant mechanical artifacts. Our sponsors, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Material Science and Technology (Empa) and Haute École Arc Conservation-Restoration (HE-Arc CR), research and test materials for scientific and everyday use, and in addition, develop and teach conservation methods to prospective conservators, respectively. We interviewed Swiss museums and private professionals to develop a database system to summarize the approaches to conservation of historical artifacts.
