Resumo
The aim of this work is to investigate how the National Library responds to the challenge of preserving and providing access to its extensive archives, taking the Piranesi collection as the case study here. The collection has 1,600 prints that make up 26 works by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778). This study examines the history of the field of conservation-restoration of cultural property, the development of the preservation department at the National Library for paper collections and the formal procedures to access the institute. The analysis of conservation-restoration interventions carried out during the exhibitions of the Piranesi collection raised questions concerning the role of the conservator-restorer, the ethics of the profession and the policies of the National Library for the preservation of the collection. Keywords: conservation-restoration; works of art; Piranesi; preservation; access.
