Documentation CD-ROM

A CD-ROM, included with the book, provides electronic versions of all Documentation, Condition, and Intervention Report Forms and Diagrams presented in the publication, as well as related introductory texts and the Schemas and Concordances for instruments and bows.

This electronic resource, comprising the entire terminological, documentation, and reporting system elaborated in the publication, allows restorers, conservators, curators, and readers a convenient means to print these documents for consultation or use. Further, the forms and diagrams are editable PDFs that can be completed electronically and the electronic versions, accompanied by other digital imaging and files, can then be stored, copied, or distributed as necessary. A Symbols Palette, developed for electronically marking up damages and interventions on condition report diagrams, has also been included.

Sample documentation and condition reports are provided below. Further details, as well as samples of the Schemas and Documentation diagrams, can be found in Technical Schemas and Diagrams.

The Documentation CD-ROM comprises over 200 pages of material and constitutes a major professional and scholarly resource in its own right.
