Abstract
Defines six categories of conservation professionals: the practitioner, the scientist, the technician, the craftsman, the manager, and the educator considers what is required in their education (Teaching to Think) and their training (Teaching to Do) and how it can best be provided, whether in an institution, a laboratory, in an apprenticeship situation or through various professional development courses of action. Theoretical studies and practical training approaches are examined for each category of conservation professional. Addresses the question of how successfully does the Canadian system cope with these education and training requirements, firstly for conservation personnel and secondly, for nonconservators, a broad category of citizens who also require education in conservation: other museum professionals, scholars (art historians, archaeologists, architects, etc.), creative artists and craftsmen (for information on materials), private and corporate collectors, politicians and bureaucrats, and the public at large.
