/I wonder if I can repair this?/ If this thought has ever entered your 
mind then this workshop can help. Professional conservator, Beverly 
Perkins from the Balboa Art Conservation Center in San Diego, will help 
you determine if you can conserve an artifact in your collection 
yourself or if you need to call a professional conservator. Hands-on 
activities will be offered, and topics will include 1) how to clean and 
polish artifacts, 2) choosing safe adhesives, and 3) hints on working 
with a conservator. Many kinds of artifacts will be discussed, and you 
are invited to bring items for review.

This workshop is held in conjunction with the Mississippi Historical 
Society’s annual meeting.
