The National Archives reported that employees of the Document Restoration Laboratory of the National Archives of Georgia, under the Ministry of Justice, paid a working visit to Poland.

According to the press service, Georgian restorers Salome Mikaberidze and Salome Partladze visited the laboratories of the Warsaw-based History Meeting House and the Historical Archives, as well as a restoration centre in the city of Milanówek, where they familiarised themselves with the work practices of their Polish colleagues.

“Georgian specialists received detailed information about modern technologies and new restoration materials introduced in Polish restoration laboratories. They also took part in the restoration and conservation of archival materials currently underway in the laboratories.

During the visit, the Georgian restorers met with the heads of the Warsaw laboratories of the History Meeting House and the Historical Archives.

The practical experience gained during the visit will provide National Archives employees with opportunities for professional development and the effective application of new knowledge in Georgia,” the National Archives said.
