ABSTRACT
The previous chapter describes the purposes that conservation treatment documentation serves for its various users. This chapter focuses on the creation of such documentation.
It sometimes seems that there is no point in putting a great deal of effort into the drafting of reports because “nobody reads them anyway.” But this is a chicken-and-egg problem. A major reason that non-conservators do not read our reports is that they do not understand the language that we use-including language that to us seems completely non-technical.
