Successes and failures in the conservation of wooden structures - 2004 - Journal of Architectural Conservation 9(3) November 2003, 36-50(15) .

Reviews the development of appropriate approaches to the conservation problems of wooden structures and outdoor monuments over the last 40 years. It focuses particularly on the sometimes extreme treatments that were developed in the 1960s to treat attacks by wood-destroying fungi and insects and the residual problems associated with these treatments. The development of more environmentally-friendly conservation treatments and minimalist approaches are also examined. [Taken from journalabstract].
