Spanish term

musealización

Spanish to English Science Archaeology
This is a text on museums and archaeology. This word comes up a lot. A translator in an earlier translation put museumisation, which the client understandably wasn't too happy with. I don't think there's a one word translation, rather it needs to be explained as concisely as possible.

Here's an example sentence:

"En este ambito, desarollamos diferentes lineas de investigacion, tales como musealizacion de la Guerra Civil"

or:

"Una de les línies de recerca del grup es centra en les museïtzacions a l’aire lliure"

Any ideas on how best to phrase it?

museological conservation

I would play around (according to each context) with terms involving 'museology' and 'museological' - e.g. 'museological conservation' 'museological preservation/archiving' etc.

another possibility may be \'museumification\' - though I think this has quite negative connotations, as you can see on some of the sites below:

here is another good example of the words meaning:

La investigación prentende localizar algunos de los espacios públicos de esta urbe romana bimilenaria tan importantes como el circo, el teatro o el anfiteatro. Está previsto realizar una maqueta virtual del casco histórico de la Calagurris Iulia, restaurar los bienes del patrimonio histórico-artístico y organizar su musealización, convertir Calahorra en un museo al aire libre.

Here is the best explanation:

Por medio del proceso de musealización, el cual es siempre una decisión humana en tanto acto intelectual y físico, los objetos son, en cierta manera, retirados de la vida, lo cual a la vez retrasa paradójicamente su muerte física. Al musealizarlos, se convierten en testigos de la memoria individual o colectiva, con un carácter de referencia que les ha sido atribuido por el hombre y que no deriva jamás del objeto en sí mismo. Se convierten en objetos de museo y adquieren una nueva cualidad: la ‘musealidad’.

musealization

On the southern side of the structures it was created an area for the documentation and musealization of remains. At the end it was possible for me to verify if my structure was suitable for the good conservation of the ancient remains of the isle of Vivara.

museum context(s); museum spaces

Obviously there isn't going to be a catch-all term; for your first example I would put something like: "creation/development of museum contexts for the Civil War"; and for the second: "open-air museum spaces".
