OBJECTIVES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Haute Ecole Arc Conservation-restauration, as part of the HES-SO network, is involved in a research project entitled GoGreen (Green strategies to conserve the past and preserve the future of cultural heritage<\/em>). GoGreen promotes preventive and remedial conservation practices based on green principles to spearhead the green revolution within conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROGRAM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

HE-Arc CR competences are exploited for the cleaning of tarnishing on historical metal artefacts (copper, iron and silver) and the stabilization of copper and iron archaeological objects. Such green solutions include those inspired by historical recipes reevaluated based on their level of greenness, and recently developed bio-originated methods, using gels amended by microorganisms, metabolites (as chelating agents) and greener solvents for the uptake of metal ions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The core activity includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
