***Registration Now Open! ARCS Webinar September 30th at 2:00 p.m. EST:
Boxes, Tubes & Pallets, Oh My! Choosing and Using Safe Materials for
Collection Housing***
The 2019 Institute for Museum and Library Services Heritage Health
Information Survey documented that conditions in storage are critical to
the health of collection items held in trust by institutions across the
nation. 45% of institutions reported damage due to improper storage or
enclosures in the past two years alone. With less than 5% of our
collections on public view, improvement to storage is one of the most
effective means for improving care of our cultural heritage.

This webinar will focus on choosing appropriate materials for storage that
won’t inadvertently damage your collections over time. Making wise
decisions about products and how they are used in rehousing projects will
stretch your budget to get the most preservation bang for your buck.
Rachael will introduce several resources to help with storage organization,
mount design, and material choice and invite members from the ARCS
community to collaboratively grow these resources.

Instructor:
Rachael Perkins Arenstein is a principal in A.M. Art Conservation, LLC a
New York-based private practice with specializations in object conservation
and preventive care.

Fees:
Members: $25.00
Non-Members: $35.00
