"The one thing we were most concerned about are the inscriptions by rescue workers on site," said Steven Weintraub, the founder and principal of Art Preservation Services of Manhattan, who is working with Voorsanger & Associates Architects, which began the task of salvaging material 17 days after the attack. "These are considered a condition that should be preserved at any cost."

Before founding Art Preservation Services in 1988, Mr. Weintraub was a staff conservator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and a conservation researcher at the Getty Conservation Institute. He was also a consultant to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington.
Da qui e qui
The contents of the 80,000-square-foot former Tower Air hangar at JFK Airport might look more at home in a salvage yard than in a museum, but some of it will one day be encased and displayed to tell its story for generations. The fate of the rest is yet to be determined.
While those decisions are being made, the trade center's remnants are vulnerable to further destruction. The hangar's roof is leaky and salty air blows in off the nearby ocean. "Humidity is a real concern," said Amory Houghton, a senior strategic planner for the Port Authority, who oversees the hangar operation. "Steel doesn't maybe rust, it always rusts."
A team of architects, conservators and curators are working in a race against time and the elements. Steven Weintraub, founder of Art Preservation Services, leads a team of five conservators. For more than two decades he has worked to preserve the precious objects of history, from ancient Egypt to the Holocaust

When restoring a fine art painting, said Weintraub, the aim is to preserve the artist's aesthetic statement, but in this case, "It was really the spontaneity of the workers. That's what we're trying to preserve."
Because not everything can be given such intensive care, Weintraub is conducting experiments on small pieces of the columns.
By speeding up the corrosion, he hopes to determine what will happen to the metal if left as is over the summer, and to gauge what its condition is likely to be in five years. The beams will continue to rust, he said, but possibly not to such a degree that they are at short-term risk.
[...]
Weintraub works alongside architect Mark Wagner, an associate at the firm of Voorsanger and Associates, who was part of a team that first came to the trade center site at the end of September 2001 to try and identify what could and should be saved. They tagged artifacts from the site, from the Fresh Kills landfill and from salvage yards in New Jersey. Most of the metal was shipped overseas and melted down. Now, more than two and a half years later, Wagner is again tagging and cataloguing steel, this time in Hangar 17.
Ma che strano....
