The EU Project 2013-2015
EwaGlos, which has been developed as part of a first of its kind EU project in eleven languages, highlights the crucial role that professionally developed multilingual vocabularies play in international preservation campaigns. The illustrated glossary stresses the importance of a common language in the conservation field, and the role that international cooperation plays in creating this common terminology.
The core of the glossary comprises approximately 200 def­initions of terms frequently used in specifications in the field of conservation-restoration of wall paintings and architectural surfaces. The forewords and preface of the book introduce professionals, students and decision-makers to complex issues encountered in the development, and use, of such terminologies. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography in this specialised field.

Revised Second Digital Edition in December 2016
On the basis of a global survey, the consortium has been able to identify the areas in which the glossary could be improved. What could be changed in the pdf, such as typing errors, hyphenations, suitable pictures etc., has been published as revised second digital edition of the glossary on the project website in December 2016.

The development of a glossary of terms for the restoration and conservation of wall paintings and architectural surfaces was focusing to choose me to participate in this important effort stems from a firm belief that the preservation of our human heritage requires the combined capabilities of people, communities and nations to withstand against the disasters that threaten that human heritage.“
