Abstract
There were several points which all the members of the Book and Paper Group's ethics session panel thought important regardless of the segment of the BPG they were asked to represent: 1) the present Code of Ethics is obviously written with the painting conservator as the model; 2) the Code insists that all objects be treated alike; 3) the parameters for written documentation do not allow latitude for the treatment of a large group of similar objects as a unit; 4) the parameters for photographic documentation do not have latitude for dealing with the enormity of the task when treating a group of similar objects or for the minor treatment of one or a group of objects.
