About

Goal

ICCROM and Getty partnered to offer three instances of this advanced international course in architectural conservation, heritage recording, and information management to help practitioners make better-informed conservation decisions.

Unique among conservation training courses, Architectural Records, Inventories, and Information Systems for Conservation (ARIS) examines the conservation of built heritage through high-tech documentation tools and easy-to-use techniques and research.

Outcomes

Training of nearly sixty mid-career professionals including architects, conservators, engineers, and educators
ARIS course participants in turn trained others in their home countries using course material

Background

The Architectural Records, Inventories, and Information Systems for Conservation (ARIS) course was designed to lead to better-informed conservation decisions through the use of appropriate tools and techniques of documentation. Specific objectives included understanding emerging technologies, organizing data for easy access and use, and applying the most appropriate form of recording for conservation.

This advanced international course was unique among conservation training courses because it examined the conservation of built heritage through the use of high-technology documentation tools and through easy-to-use techniques and research.
The first ARIS course, inspired by the documentation component of ICCROM's Architectural Conservation courses, was created and led by ICCROM in 2003. The Getty Conservation Institute's partnership began in 2005 and courses jointly sponsored by the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) were held in 2005 (ARIS05), 2007 (ARIS07), and 2009 (ARIS09).
