Art Conservation

The Art Conservation liaison librarian is available for research consultation and can help you design research strategies, access key databases, effectively use the information resources of Queen’s University Library and beyond, and stay current in your field.  Discipline and course specific research skill instruction can be provided. We also evaluate, purchase and make available teaching and research materials to support this program including books, conferences, journals and exhibition catalogues in print and/or electronic format, and databases, multimedia and streaming resources.   

Here are key starting points for your research in Art Conservation.

Subject guides are created by our Librarians to help you identify, access and understand the literature of a discipline. See the Art Conservation subject guide to explore, access and use these resources. Other discipline guides may also be relevant to Art Conservation.
