The Institute of Conservation (Icon) is a charity and the professional body for conservators and restorers in the United Kingdom. It has over three thousand members, including professional conservators working with heritage objects and buildings. ==Background== Icon was formed in 2005 as a result of a merger between five smaller bodies: The United Kingdom Institute for Conservation, The Institute of Paper Conservation, The Scottish Society for Conservation and Restoration, the Photographic Materials Conservation Group and the Care of Collections Forum. These five organisations were known collectively a the 'Vanguard Bodies' of the National Council for Conservation-Restoration (NCCR). In 2006 a sixth organisation, the Institute of Conservation Science, which had not been part of the NCCR, merged into Icon. Seven other bodies which were also members of the NCCR opted not to merge into Icon in 2005. These were: * The British Antique Furniture Restorer's Association〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Home - British Antique Furniture Restorers' Association )〕 * The British Association of Paintings Conservator-Restorers〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BAPCR Home )〕 * Two Irish bodies, the Institute of Conservator-restorers in Ireland (IPCRA)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IPCRA )〕 and The Institute for the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works in Ireland (ICHAWI) which merged with IPRCA in 2013〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IPCRA )〕 * Three 'hybrid' bodies, combining conservators and non-conservators in their membership - NATSCA,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Natural Sciences Collections Association )〕 the BHI〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=British Horological Institute )〕 and the Society of Archivists which merged into the Archives and Records Association in 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Institute of Conservation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
