The Romoe Conservators Network

In recent times, around the globe, a lot of people have a growing awareness of the need to mark out their individual cultural identities. This makes people want to embrace the arts and culture of their predecessors. A major concern hindering this is the protection of this old culture. More often than not, ancient pieces of art, books, furniture and others become less and less impactful with age, sometimes, becoming completely destroyed or uninspiring. This is where the conservators and restorers come in. They strive to preserve and revitalise these ancient items.
What does it do?
The Romoe Conservation Network was created in April 2001 to be an international network for and by restorers/conservators that offers a structured directory for finding and appreciating conservation works. The network also has an extensive category and radius search that will prove useful to specialists. With the Romoe Conservation Network, you can get in-depth information about various restoration projects around the world.
The network gives users access to contacts to organizations, educational institutions, institutes, and facilitation of the exchange of special information. With the Romoe Conservation Network, you can get a closer look at some of the projects and work done by restorers, which involves both academic and craft restoration. The network’s directory holds overviews of various regions, categories, subject areas, and a search area optimized for clients and interested parties in finding restorers.

Who is it meant for? Who is the target audience?
Initially a Germany-based resource, the network is gradually expanding its reach to the ends of the globe. With a massive number of registered users who continue to grow with each day and a similarly large social media following, the network as its users divided up into organizations, art conservators, and manufactures and suppliers.
