It is with a heavy heart that I must inform the conservation community of the recent passing of Roger D. Broussal. He will be missed and remembered by many.
Roger was Museum Conservator at the De Young Museum in San Francisco from 1962-64 and the Chief Conservator at the Asian Art Museum from 1964-1984. There he established and directed the conservation department and lab for art preservation and research. He originated and co-directed the first west coast graduate level program in museum studies at Lone Mountain College. Over man years he taught and wrote and lectured. He was a Colonel, Deputy Chief of Staff for Civil Military Operations: Monuments Branch. He was elected as a fellow of both IIC and AIC. He was the founder of the Bay Area Art Conservation Guild. These are only some of the highlights of an amazing career. Roger made multiple contributions to the field. He is most definitely a member of the Art/Science Conservation Hall of Fame. Jonathan S.
