Cultural assets are at risk of decay due to natural processes, poor environmental controls, disasters, human activity, neglect, and even certain conservation treatments. Science and technology are crucial for comprehending historical building materials and their deterioration. Experienced professionals should execute these activities using proper methodologies and appropriate equipment and techniques. The field of conservation science has made significant progress since the first half of the 20th century and continues to advance. Some institutions have now reached their 50th anniversary since their establishment. In the face of these positive developments, these institutes have also encountered challenges. This study aims to make a recent assessment of the importance of conservation laboratories in terms of architectural conservation, as well as the necessity of the global exchange of knowledge and valuable data that have been gained through the efforts of former institutions.
