About the magazine

Art Conservator, the magazine of the Williamstown Art Conservation Center, was launched in 2006 to inform and educate our members and the greater WACC community on the work at the Center and on art conservation issues in general. Art conservation is a crossroads of esthetics, science, history and commerce, and each issue of Art Conservator chronicles the intermingling of these elements in the care of artworks and our cultural patrimony. With articles that are accessible to the general reader, full color photography and innovative features, the twice-a-year magazine highlights important treatments at the Center, explaining conservation processes and addressing technical, intellectual and ethical questions facing 21st-century conservators.  Each issue contains a Technical Bulletin, prepared by one of WACC’s staff conservators, delving in depth into an issue facing museum professionals and others involved with cultural objects.

Art Conservator is distributed free to WACC members, friends and past clients, as well as to numerous museums and art libraries across the country and in Canada, Europe and beyond. Institutions may request to become part of our mailing list; among those we have recently added include the Frick Collection, Yale University Art Museum, Amon Carter Museum and the National Library of Argentina in Buenos Aires.
