TRENDS IN THE TEXTILE CONSERVATION AT THE END OF THE 20TH CENTURY Abstract: Textile conservation achieved the same position with other branches of conservation in the 40ies. Wet cleaning of historical textiles, disassembling of costumes or lined artefacts, conservation of the pieces and reassembling used to be a ratine method some decades ago. Today the „dirt” is considered as information about the history and use of the object and cleaning is questioned in many cases. The „integrity” and „the true nature” of the artefact means that the aim of conservation is not necessarily recovering the „original” form and condition of the object but to preserve the signs of its history and use. When making the strategy of conservation the further destiny and future conditions of the object are also considered. Besides creativity, the mental activity before making decisions on restoration have gained more and more importance. The case histories in the article are based on the experiences of textile conservator colleagues from the Southampton University Textile Conservation Centre, U.K. Szerző címe/Author’s address: Tímámé Balázsy Agnes, az egyetemi Tárgyrestaurátor Szak vezetője Head of Faculty of Object Conservation 1450 Budapest 9.
