They are represented in several museum collections as witness to different time periods and significances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, their conservation is particularly problematic as severe corrosion phenomena occur due to interaction with environment as well as between the organic content and the metallic sealer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project includes :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>investigation on the values and functions of cans in our society;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>identification of the principal problems of conservation in different museum collections;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>assessment of the relation between observed degradations, environmental conditions and cans composition (materials used, forms, contents\u2026);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>investigation on the mechanisms involved in the long-term degradation of both containers and contents;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>proposition of preventive conservation methodologies and possible interventions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CANS project constitutes an interdisciplinary research that brings together ethnologists, food technology experts, conservators-restorers and conservation scientists (corrosion, material sciences). This project will contribute to the discovering of degradation mechanisms and to the set up of preventive conservation strategies of those objects that are actually part of the cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FUNDING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Swiss National Science Foundation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snf.ch\/en\">snf.ch<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PARTNERS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mus\u00e9e d\u2019ethnographie, Neuch\u00e2tel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.men.ch\/fr\/accueil\">men.ch<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tribology and interface chemistry group (EPFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epfl.ch\/labs\/tic\/\">epfl.ch<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>HES-SO Valais: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hes-so.ch\/recherche-innovation\/instituts-de-recherche\/detail-institut\/institut-sciences-du-vivant\">Institut Sciences du vivant<\/a> et <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevs.ch\/fr\/recherche-appliquee-et-developpement-a-la-hes-so-valais-wallis\/institut-systemes-industriels-valais\/\">Institut Syst\u00e8mes industriels<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cta-cards  \">\n\n    \n      \n        <ul class=\"flex-row mt-3 w-list-unstyled\">\n              <li class=\"size-full\">\n  \n  \n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.he-arc.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/oldsite\/projets\/projet_cans_462018.pdf\"  class=\"cta-card is-wide is-shadowed\">\n                <div class=\"cta-card__inner is-with-arrow\">\n                <h3 class=\"cta-card__title pretty-underline is-xlarge\">PDF version<\/h3>\n        <p class=\"cta-card__description is-large\"><\/p>\n                  <span class=\"icon-arrow-right cta-card__arrow\" \/>\n              <\/div>\n        <\/a>\n    \n  \n<\/li>\n          <\/ul>\n    \n  \n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":20691,"template":"","he-arc_domain":[5],"he-arc_project_skill":[],"he-arc_project_year":[36,37,38,39],"class_list":["post-20835","he-arc_project","type-he-arc_project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","he-arc_domain-conservation-restauration","he-arc_project_year-36","he-arc_project_year-37","he-arc_project_year-38","he-arc_project_year-39"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>CANS \u2013 Conservation of cAns in collectioNS - Haute-Ecole Arc<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.he-arc.ch\/en\/projets-recherche\/cans\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CANS \u2013 Conservation of cAns in collectioNS - Haute-Ecole Arc\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"OBJECTIVES The objectives of CANS are to improve the knowledge about cans, to develop treatment methodologies respectful of the material authenticity and cultural values of these composite objects and to propose solutions in terms of preventive conservation.
