Introduction

Conservar Património is a journal, published three times a year, that intends to create a space for the diffusion of conservator-restorers’ studies and activities. However, at a time when Conservation-Restoration pretends to develop further through collaboration with other areas of knowledge, such as History of Art, Archaeology, Museum Studies, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and other related disciplines from the fields of the natural and social sciences, the journal also receives contributions from any other provenance as long as directed towards the multiple dimensions of the works that integrate our Cultural Heritage. Theoretical issues on the conservation activity may also be submitted.

Conservar Património is a scientific journal. Therefore, as a rule, the submitted papers are reviewed anonymously by peers in order to achieve and maintain a platform of quality. Although it is published by ARP (Associação Profissional de Conservadores-Restauradores em Portugal), it is open to all, independently of their relationship to the organization.

The journal has adopted a digital open access format from issue 17 and the papers will be available on the Internet as soon as they are accepted, before their insertion in the finalized issue (papers in press).
