Conservation is an integral part of the study of ethnographic material culture. The diversity of material culture objects presents a diversity of conservation problems. In this volume, topics in ethnological conservation are addressed under four headings: ethics of ethnographic conservation; treatment; conservation problems in ethnographic (or folk) open air museums, including eco-museums; and the training of specialists. Individual chapters in the volume are abstracted under the following authors' names: Morita, T.; Rose, C. L.; Morita, T. (#2); Walston, S, K. Coote, and D. Horton-James; Morita, T. and C.
