【 摘 要 】

Recently, professionals in conservation have recognized the need to reach out to the public, or layperson, to communicate the contents and modalities of their work in order to create a more accessible culture. At present, different forms of communication are used, and blogs have been identified as a very powerful tool, especially abroad. Furthermore, blogs offer a great opportunity to attract a broad audience of readers, and to invite commentary along with question and answer. With the goal of forwarding shared knowledge across the conservation community and enhancing communication within the field we have created AbC, a conservation blog open to the public. AbC aims to be a web platform written in Italian, Spanish and English, with a multidisciplinary approach to the themes of conservation, restoration, and diagnostic investigation of artworks. It has been conceived as a popular and up-to-date heritage conservation blog that will to bring these themes into the center of public attention through the presentation of restorations with an understandable language and a captivating style through articles, photos, videos and other illustrations. The platform provides a section to inform readers on restoration and conservation works especially through the perspective of the work in progress which includes interviews and contributions by conservation professionals and a training section for keeping restorers technically up-to-date - beyond teaching to the common public on topics related to restoration, diagnostic and conservation of heritage. In order to be one of the principal web platforms dedicated to conservation, restoration and diagnostic world of cultural heritage, AbC Blog takes advantage of collaboration with one of the most important magazines in conservation, Kermes. On the home of web-site of Kermes, AbC will be linked by a banner for an immediate and favourite connection. The blog themes will be complementary to web-site contents, proposing to have future links to other magazine web journals.
