Summary: | 碩士 === 臺南藝術學院 === 博物館學研究所 === 93 === Conservation of Cultural Heritage is a positive undertaking in every country. Its main propose is to preserve humanity’s outstanding tangiable and intangiable cultural haritage, and pass down this valuable legacy to our future generations. A measure of our commitment to the importance of culture is represented by how much effort is devoted to conservation of our cultural heritage.
The National Center for Research and Preservation of Cultural Properties Planning Office (hereinafter NCRPCP) was established in August 1997. It will soon be its 8th anniversery. During the past 8 years, because of the strictures of its structure, the number and specialization of its staff, and the limits of the Law of Conservation of Cultural Heritage, the NCRPCP could not achieve as much as would be liked in conservating Taiwan’s cultural heritage. At the beginning of 2005, the President announced the revised Law of Conservation of Cultural Heritage. The professional work of museums, momuments and sites which formerly belonged to the Education Department and Domestic Affairs will transfer to Cultural Council Affairs. Thus, the NCRPCP should prepare to take over the job of preservation, conservation, research, and restoration of our cultural heritage.
This dissertation will collect the information from other national conservation cultural heritage institutes, and compare this with the structure, specialists, job contents, and services of the NCRPCP.
One obvious difference is that the main staffs of the NCRPCP are govermment servants and doing administration work, which is quite different from those doing research and restoration practice work in other countries. This project aims to identify the problems, analyze ways to reduce these problems and suggest solutions. Thus, the NCRPCP may implement international standard to protect Taiwan’s cultural heritage.
Key Words: Cultural Heritage, Conservation, Restoration, Conservation Science, Conservator-Curator, Codes of Ethics.
