The survey takes approximately 35 minutes to complete and is intended purely for academic research purposes. There are no right or wrong answers - professional experiences and perspectives from across the field are greatly valued. This study does not seek to judge individual conservators or past treatments. Conservation is understood as a collective and evolving practice, shaped by available knowledge, institutional conditions, and us as a caretaker of the artworks. The purpose of this questionnaire is to reflect on how documentation influences trust, understanding, and future decision-making in conservation. Thank you in advance for your time and insights.

As part of the last year of the degree, we have to write a thesis on a subject of our liking. As such, I'm realising a report on the evolution of the dechlorination methods for iron in the world. For this, I made a quick survey destined to as many professionals as possible, which you can find here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScvDZM8uKU_5GT-faDUlObY7ZjbBiFsZkbj9G4qRx-COaV8wA/viewform?usp=header <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScvDZM8uKU_5GT-faDUlObY7ZjbBiFsZkbj9G4qRx-COaV8wA/viewform?usp=header> Thank you for your time and answer.
