- Abstract:
- This paper present the results of the CANS project (Conservation of cAns in collectioNS), an interdisciplinary research aiming at proposing conservation strategies for full cans, still retaining their original contents, in museums and collections. The paper includes the outcomes of the condition report carried out on 150 cans from 5 Swiss collections, the correlation between state of conservation, content and age of the can and the extensive characterization of the cans' materials for a better understanding of the corrosion mechanisms.
