Conservation of Cultural Property in India (Prof. G.N. Pant Commemoration Volume)

Preface This publication is based on the five Volumes (1-V) of "Conservation of Cultural Property in India" which were distributed among members of the Indian Association for the Study of Conservation of Cultural Property in a cyclostyled form (edited by Dr. O.P. Agarwal) 30 to 35 Years ago (not available now) and needed conservation help themselves to be to referred. These volumes have been combined in a book form with the generosity of Dr. Agam Prasad a Life member of IASC and Proprietor of M/s AGAM KALA PRAKASHAN who agreed to publish this publication as a commemoration volume of Prof. G.N. PANT a friend and eminent museologist of a very high calibre whom we all remember with reverence. His last assignment was as Director and Pro Vice Chancellor, National Museum Institute (Deemed University) of History of Art. Conservation and Museology, New Delhi and all of us were closely associated with him in the Institute.

It is expected that the present publication in a book form would bridge the gap prior to Vol. VI of this journal already printed. The need to make these old issues available at one place was being felt for some time now especially because these contained basic knowledge of conservation techniques as practiced in India during 1966 to 1970 and which are interesting examples showing the development in the field of conservation in India. The Editors are thankful to all concerned in getting this publication printed in the present form and the help rendered by them.
