The GCI has made available online a new training resource to conservation professionals engaged in the training of conservation technicians for mosaics on sites and in storage, as well as other architectural remains. A series of twenty-four classroom-based lessons which were developed for the MOSAIKON Initiative by an instructor team of consulting conservators and educators and GCI staff are now available at the following link:
These slide presentations are complementary to the GCI’s previously published handbook, Technician Training for the Maintenance of In Situ Mosaics , the Illustrated Glossary and the Supplemental Manuals for Digital Photographic Documentation (available in English, French, and Arabic), and constitute a rather important resource of didactic materials produced by the MOSAIKON Initiative and made freely available to the conservation field to support future training in mosaics conservation.
