Weblogs that link to APERTUM
Searching on Technorati, it was found that 3 other weblogs mention APERTUM on their links:
Mario Bucolo Museums Blog
A blog about museums and culture
Mario Bucolo also started a Museums Blog Webring, which attempts to link up various museums-related blogs.
MuseumsBlog.org
MuseumBlogs.org is a directory of museum and museum-related blogs as well as a space for re-postings.
If you click on the "Blog Age" option in the side bar, APERTUM is listed as the second-oldest weblog in the directory!
Single Planet
The weblog looks diverse, with entries on cultural heritage and also natural heritage. At the moment, there is a range of very interesting posts on China. There is also a list of links to heritage conservation on the sidebar, amongst others.
So to reciprocate, links to these weblogs have been added to the sidebar here, as well.
Happy browsing!

A moment of truth for all in the antiquities field
go to article
A timely article to keep the debate on antiquities trade in view. Museums, as much as collectors, can often collude (unintentionally or otherwise) in what has been universally declared as illegal under the 1970 UNESCO convention on cultural properties.
The suggestion is to deal with the problem on 2 fronts - one, to strengthen the commitment of museums to decline cultural artefacts with undocumented provenance, even as gifts; and, two, to consider allowing the legitimate public and private acquisition of (duplicate or similar) archaeological finds from documented source. The success of these efforts would depend largely on a strong recognition of reality and the right thing to do - as consumers and purveyors of cultural heritage products.

Replica clothes pass Everest test
go to article
An update on a successful attempt to reconstruct and use actual mountaineering attire of the fateful Everest ascent in 1924, using actual materials and tailoring of the period (see previous post). A very fitting piece of concrete field (historical) research, one must add.

Dry ice blasting is cool way to clean
go to article
A new technology which could (and should) replace existing sandblasting methods of cleaning surfaces, in particular outdoor sculptures and cultural heritage structures. It is also interesting to note that the method has been effective in removing soot from books salvaged from a fire.
