Recognition of the skill, training, knowledge, and experience required to practice as a qualified conservator is crucial to ensure the appropriate care and stewardship of cultural heritage. Ignoring it not only does a disservice at the individuals working in the field and the profession as a whole, but also undermines the level of academic research and the advances that the conservation community has made in our understanding of history and culture. Furthermore, failing to adequately acknowledged the requirements of caring for the artifacts that constitute humanity's cultural history puts those artifacts at risk, belittles their significance, and jeopardizes the future development of art and culture as we know it.
