I sent someone a link to the TAMU conservator's guide this morning and thought some folks here might be able to make use of these links, so here ya go:
from Croatia we have "Conservation of Underwater Archaeological Finds"
http://icua.hr/images/stories/publikacije/Conservation_of_underwater_archaeological_finds_Manual.pdf
TAMU "Methods for ConservingArchaeological Material fromUnderwater Sites"
http://nautarch.tamu.edu/CRL/conservationmanual/ConservationManual.pdf
National Park Service:
The complete NPS Museum Handbook:
https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/Museum Handbook with Quick Reference.pdf
and the bits about
https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/MHI/Appendix O.pdf
and this:
https://sha.org/conservation-facts/faq/conservation-treatments/
and that should about cover it.
As an industry we need to do the best we can to conduct ourselves in a reasonable manner when it comes to historical materials. I think that the "Say No To Salvage" archaeologists need to realize that if it weren't for the commercial salvage folks, their side would have to raise the funds to find the wrecks instead of getting government agencies to confiscate them after WE spend OUR money.
