Abstract(s)
O presente relatório descreve a atividade de estágio realizada na área de Conservação e Restauro, aplicada à vertente de Etnografia no Museu de História Natural e da Ciência da Universidade do Porto. O objetivo incidiu sobre o estudo e conservação preventiva de uma coleção composta por 216 peças, iniciado pela investigação histórica e cultural, pelo levantamento do estado de conservação com base nos registos de inventário e numa análise descritiva com o auxílio de métodos de exame e análise. Da coleção foram selecionadas três peças distintas para realização de tratamentos de conservação. Posteriormente foi levada a cabo uma descrição técnica e material de toda a coleção, e concretizada uma memória descritiva das intervenções de conservação executadas, bem como de aspetos relativos à reserva da coleção. A realização destas tarefas contribuiu de forma significativa para uma perceção e consciencialização da instituição para o estado de conservação em que a coleção se encontra, assim como a execução e apresentação de documentos de conservação e restauro de extrema utilidade no estudo de coleções museológicas. Um estudo aprofundado sobre as condições ambientais, materiais, disposição e organização espacial de uma reserva de coleções de cariz etnográfico e de antropologia biológica, forneceram informações que até ao momento não tinham sido consideradas de forma tão concreta. A desenvoltura deste trabalho em contexto de estágio não só colaborou para o avanço e conhecimento de metodologias e considerações a ter em atenção por parte de uma entidade museológica no que respeita à conservação preventiva de uma coleção etnográfica, como instruiu o estagiário num modo profissional, colocando-o em situações e dificuldades reais que têm de ser resolvidas da melhor forma, respeitando sempre os princípios e valores de cada peça e de cada museu regente. A aprendizagem obtida através de uma experiência deste caráter não se aplica somente ao conhecimento técnico alcançado, mas também a uma evolução pessoal no que diz respeito ao trabalho de grupo, multidisciplinar e de interajuda entre os profissionais das várias áreas científicas.
This report describes the internship activity carried out in the area of Conservation and Restoration, applied to Ethnography in the Natural History and Science Museum of the University of Porto. The objective was to study and preventive conservation of a 216 piece collection, initiated by historical and cultural research, survey of conservation status based on inventory records and a descriptive analysis with the aid of examination and analysis methods. From the collection, three different pieces were selected for conservation treatments. Posteriorly, a technical and material description of the entire collection was carried out, and a descriptive memory of the conservation interventions carried out, as well as aspects relating to the collection reserve, was made. The accomplishment of these tasks contributed significantly to the institution's perception and awareness of the state of conservation of the collection, as well as the execution and presentation of extremely useful conservation and restoration documents in the study of museum collections. An in-depth study of the ambiental conditions, materials, arrangement, and spatial organization of a reserve of ethnographic and biological anthropology collections provided information that had not been so concretely considered. The resourcefulness of this work in an internship context not only contributed to the advancement and knowledge of methodologies and considerations to be taken into consideration by a museological entity regarding the preventive conservation of an ethnographic collection, but also instructed the intern in a professional way, placing him in real situations and difficulties that have to be solved in the best way, always respecting the principles and values of each piece and of each regent museum. The learning gained through an experience of this character not only applies to the technical knowledge achieved, but also to a personal evolution regarding group work, multidisciplinary and inter-help between professionals from various scientific areas.
