It also includes historical terms found in ancient manuscripts. Key topics include: theory of conservation-restoration, damage and treatment of paintings, biology, chemistry, art history, architecture and craft terminology - gilding, plastering, woodworking, etc. During editorial work, for convenience, dictionary chapters can be displayed or printed on demand and a forum is provided to allow discussion and exchange of opinions between contributors and users.
