Résumé en anglais

Primum non nocere. This ancient warning has for centuries applied to the medical treatment of humans, and only recently has it been transferred to the treatment of cultural property.It lies at the basis of a new trend in our discipline, applied experimentally in the 1980s, and defined at the beginning ofthe 1990s. The methodological principles of preventative conservation derive from the bad experiences of the past and are formulated with hope for the future. On the one hand we see great and irreversible changes in the substance ofcultural property caused by conservators (the doctors proved more dangerous than the disease), on the other hand we believe that future conservators will possess more advanced diagnostic methods and techniques and new materials ofknown properties.
