Conservation is not a handicraft, even though we use also those skills. We are to objects what librarians are to books - we keep the collective memory of humankind alive. We fight against mold, fire, insects, rodents, the stupidity of men - and time itself in order to prevent the memory loss now escalating in many countries.
And if we do our job well, nobody will ever know we have done something. It is not about us - it is about the generations to come and their right to see history with their own eyes.
