Abstract
Evaluation of Atatürk's Funeral Ceremony Photo Album Repair in Terms of Restoration Purposes and Principles
It is necessary to act in accordance with the ethical principles explained in internationally accepted documents in the determination of the purpose, method and procedures to be carried out of the restoration of historical artifacts and their application to the work. However, the scarcity of scientific studies in the areas of decision-making processes in restoration and compliance with restoration ethical principles causes undesirable applications in restoration studies. Since the destructions and restoration processes in historical artifacts are unique to the artifact, restoration ethics assessments should be made directly through the restoration practice. In this study, within the scope of the restoration work applied to Atatürk's Funeral Photo Album, a restoration work was evaluated according to the restoration purpose and principles. The purpose of the album restoration study was analyzed according to Caple's RIP triangle model. In addition, important decisions taken within the scope of the study; Compliance with the 4 basic restoration principles of Sustainability, Authenticity, Minimal Intervention and Reversibility has been examined.
