The database contains more than 10,000 entries in English, Polish and German and an additional 4,000 translated into French and Italian. 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.
