Stone conservationresearch may not be the first thing that comes to mind when readingthese words, but it is because these places of irreplaceable cultural heritage,and many other stone monuments, are eroding at a noticeable ratethat the subject of this volume is of such crucial importance. In the summerof 1994, the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) invited ProfessorClifford A. Price to provide an overview of research on the conservationof stone monuments, sculpture, and archaeological sites. The purpose ofthe review, which was subsequently published in the 1996 book StoneConservation: An Overview of Current Research, was to inform GCIresearch policy in this field and to highlight areas into which Gettyresources might usefully be channeled. Today, a Google search for “stoneconservation” raises this book in the first link—a testament to its enduringusefulness to the wider conservation community.Stone Conservation remains one of the most cited and downloadedof the GCI’s books some fifteen years after it was written. Arefreshingly opinionated work, its call to reform the focus and process ofresearch was subsequently echoed and reinforced by other authors andinstitutions. By raising challenging issues, the book influenced a generationof conservators and scientists who have worked to advance the fieldof stone conservation. Indeed, progress on several key issues can be tieddirectly back to Professor Price’s frank observations and prescriptions.The need for both a conservation journal that reviewed scholarly articlesand for rigorous peer review of conservation publications contributed tothe subsequent formation of venues such as the IIC Journal, Reviews inConservation, and the expansion of the GCI’s Research in Conservationseries. His call to improve the quality and timing of conferences and theaccessibility of proceedings was one of the stimuli for the recent developmentof the Torun Guidelines adopted at the ICOMOS InternationalStone Committee meeting in 2008.The fact that the stone conservation field has evolved significantlysince 1994 prompted requests to update this popular volume, and in May
