Dear Readers,

We are pleased to present you the 4th issue of ICAR. It contains 20 papers on a variety of topics concerning care for cultural heritage: conservation-restoration practice, documentation, art history, chemistry and archaeology. We congratulate the Authors whose papers passed the selection and review process, and bid thanks for your patience and trust during these difficult times.

Year 2020 is the year of changes. We had to re-evaluate the way we perceive the world and organise our lives. A huge part of our social, educational and professional activities takes place online. In these unprecedented circumstances, when access to libraries and possibilities of organising meetings, workshops and conferences are limited, the role of open access journals like ICAR will only be growing. We strive to provide you best-quality research papers and maintain our mission of promoting young professionals in the field of care, conservation and restoration of cultural heritage. Our work during the pandemic has not ceased.

In the past year, also ICAR has undergone changes. In 2020, two of the Founders of the Journal – Sylwia Popławska (vice Editor-in-Chief and Technical Editor) and Piotr Popławski (Secretary) are finishing their involvement in the Editorial Board. Thank you for your passion and hard work in developing ICAR. Your input and our common effort made ICAR what it is today – an established international academic journal. Best of luck with your current and future enterprises!

We wish our Readers a good reading experience. Hopefully, we will all be able to “meet” on the pages of ICAR next year!
