About The Journal

Since 1960, the Institute for Restoration has been annually publishing a collection of research works Art Heritage. Research. Storage. Conservation (before 1975 the collection was published under the title Proceedings of the All-Union Scientific Institute for Restoration (VNIIR)). The collection of articles includes the results of research conducted by the experts of the State Research Institute for Restoration (GOSNIIR) and other institutions involved in cultural conservation.

On October 19, 2021 the meeting of the Academic Board of GOSNIIR decided to transform the collection of articles into an electronic scientific peer-reviewed journal.
