Dear All:
Do you work or volunteer at a historic house museum? Is it a little...dusty? It's OK! It happens to the best of us.
Join the Continuing Education Program in Historic Preservation at the Midatlantic Regional Center for the Humanities at Rutgers for a workshop in Flemington, NJ, on cleaning historic house interiors!
WHAT: Cleaning Historic Interiors on a Budget for Beginners 2-day workshop
ABOUT: Is your historic house museum dusty? Are you unsure about the best way to dust and vacuum regularly on a budget? In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn about the principles behind why and how you should dust historic buildings regularly and the kind of procedures you can put in place to make sure this important preservation task doesn’t fall by the wayside! On day 1 of the workshop, participants will have the opportunity apply what they learn to a historic room inside the Hunterdon County Courthouse. On day 2, participants will have a chance to discuss their plans for putting a regular cleaning schedule in place at their historic site.
WHO SHOULD REGISTER?: This workshop is designed for volunteers, staff, board members, or others who work directly (or indirectly!) with the care of historic domestic interiors in a house museum setting (but everyone is welcome!). Participants are expected to participate in both days of the workshop.
