Protecting the Past

The past is all around us . It can be found in art and

in buildings . It can even be found in street signs and in

personal items . History is everywhere you look . But

what happens when there is a disaster , such as a flood

or an earthquake ? History can be lost . It can be washed

away . That is why it is key to protect the past during

times of crisis .

People called conservators (kuhn-SUHR-vuh-tuhrz)

visit places hit by disasters . They look for items that

represent the local culture . The items might be pieces

of art . Or they might be parts of buildings or items from

a destroyed museum .

Conservators know the importance of the past .

They know that the past tells us where we have been .

The past reminds us of our

progress . It tells us how

our culture has grown

and changed.

art pulled from rubble.

Conservators work to save

art after an earthquake .

under a microscope .

Haiti Earthquake

Conservators work in tough places . They work in places

that have had major disasters . In 2010 , Haiti (HAY-tee)

faced great loss . A strong earthquake shook the ground . It

knocked down many buildings .

Haiti has a big population . Most of the people who live

there are poor . Many of them do not have jobs . They were

not prepared to deal with a disaster .

Over 200,000 people died in the quake . Many were left

homeless . But it was not just lives and homes that were

lost . Culture was also lost . Museums were destroyed.

Libraries and churches were ruined . Each of these

places was home to books and artwork . Much

of the countrys culture was lost . But

some things were saved . Conservators

worked hard to find and save key pieces

of culture.

Almost one-third of the

people in Haiti were

affected by the earthquake.

Conservators focused their work on a few sites . One of

those sites was a church . It was home to murals . These

murals were works of art . They had been painted on the walls

of the church by famous Haitian (HAY-shuhn) artists .

Only three murals were left after the earthquake . They

were badly damaged . Saving them would not be easy .
