Guidelines Condition Assessment and Monitoring of Wall Paintings and Architectural Surfaces

The term monitoring in connection with the conservation of monuments is usually understood as pertaining to unspecific, individual examinations or the taking of diverse measurements. It therefore seemed appropriate to develop apposite definitions and compile various individual methods into a
coherent system. This system provides guidelines that should naturally not be rigid but instead be completed according to object and case specific content.

The guidelines are intended to represent an orientation aid for conservators and to provide curators of monuments, architects and owners with useful information to define the steps expected and with them the costing and the stipulation of the scope of the commission as well.

This 2nd edition of the present document is based on an evaluation of current projects on ‘Condition
assessment and monitoring on medieval wall paintings’ in Austria and the practical experience gained in these projects.
