Preservation: to preserve, to keep safe from harm or injury. Restoration: to restore, to bring back to an original or a former, more desirable condition. This implies doing more than preserving; taking aggressive actions like relettering historic inscriptions or sandblasting. NOT recommended treatments. Specialists prefer to conserve: to prevent injury, decay, waste, or loss of. This is to perform a procedure to help protect and stabilize an artifact or monument.
