The fundamental duty of conservation is to preserve surviving materials and the evidence they contain. Thus conservation should accorded a higher priority than commercial, economic, legal, and aesthetic factors, but in the real world it is these influences that usually drive or constrain what is perceived to be possible and practical, sometimes with serious consequences. This paper explores through case studies how ethical conservation can be delivered within a sometimes hostile environment, identifies some of the factors critical to making this happen, and suggests a role for the Newcomen Society.
