A historic site and national landmark, Washington's Headquarters State Historic Site ("WHQ"), in Newburgh, New York, serves as a museum dedicated to preserving and interpreting the legacy of the American Revolutionary War. In the early 2010s, WHQ implemented an open-storage system that could allow visitors to safely view more of the delicate historic objects in its collection, including a rare Revolutionary War era knapsack (the "Uhl knapsack"). As part of this new open-storage system, WHQ's curators sought a replica of the Uhl knapsack that could be displayed three-dimensionally on a mannequin and thereby offer a more dynamic interpretation and experience of the knapsack for visitors. Using the replication of the Uhl knapsack as a case study, this paper considers the basic question of how a professional conservator can ethically replicate cultural property. Even before approaching the nuts and bolts of methodology, the act of replication itself poses fundamental problems for conservation theory and ethics. Critical examination of the concepts that underlie conservation ethics and practice nevertheless reveal that replication can be an appropriate and powerful tool for the professional conservator. Contemporary conservation theory further provides useful methodologies for ethically creating replicas.Following exploration of the ethics of replication, this paper discusses the issues involved in creating the replica of the Uhl knapsack. It concludes by describing how the replica was made and how it was displayed at WHQ.
