Description: Preserving What Is Valued : Museums, Conservation, and First Nations, Paperback by Clavir, Miriam, ISBN 0774808616, ISBN-13 9780774808613, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Museum practice regarding handling and preservation of objects has been largely taken as a given, and it can be difficult to see how these activities are politicized. Author Miriam Clavir argues that museum practices are historically grounded and represent values that are not necessarily held by the originators of the objects. She first focuses on conservation and explains the principles and methods conservators practise. She then discusses First Nations people's perspectives on preservation, quoting extensively from interviews done throughout British Columbia, and comparing the British Columbia situation with that in New Zealand.
