New Managers, Conservation and Scientific Services

by Bill Peters, Director General of CCI

The final phase of CCI's reorganization is now complete, and I am pleased to announce the names of the newly appointed managers for each of the four sections in the Conservation and Scientific Services Directorate:

David Grattan, Manager of Conservation Processes and Materials Research, has devoted many years of his career to applying science to conservation treatments, especially developing treatments for wooden artifacts. David is also Chair of the ICOM Committee for Conservation.

Michael Harrington, Manager of the Treatment and Development Division, is a furniture conservator now responsible for CCI's conservators in furniture, paper, objects and ethnology, fine arts, and textiles. Michael is renowned for his immense practical skills as a conservator.

Stefan Michalski, Manager of Preventive Conservation Services, is well-known for his work in various aspects of preventive conservation. He is particularly noted for some of the tools he has developed, such as the light damage slide rule and the preventive conservation wall chart.

Ian Wainwright, Manager of the Analytical Research Laboratory, has been active in the scientific examination of art works. He is especially recognized for his strong contributions to the study of rock art.

These four individuals bring a wealth of conservation experience to CCI's management table. I congratulate them all and wish them well in their new positions.
