Preserving our collections is part of our mission, but how do we 
actually do that without the unlimited resources necessary to execute 
industry standards? It is a challenge cultural heritage stewards face daily.
First it is necessary to understand what can cause deterioration of our 
cultural heritage, the Agents of Deterioration, as covered in our free 
course Introduction to the Agents of Deterioration. Next we must learn 
how to strategize to preserve our collections with the resources 
available to us.
Our new course Preserving Heritage Collections is the next step in 
collections care after our free Introduction to the Agents of 
Deterioration course. Conservator Gretchen Anderson will provide the 
strategy necessary to use knowledge of the Agents of Deterioration to 
preserve collections. Using the Canadian Conservation Institute’s 
Framework for Preservation we will develop strategies that we can 
actually implement with our available resources. We will also learn when 
a solution is beyond our ability and then it is time to call in a 
subject matter or skilled specialist. Discover what resources are 
available to help us with preservation including knowledge and funding. 
Learn how to weave more sustainable practices into our daily and 
long-term strategies. If you are not already familiar with preservation 
principles you should take this course before taking any other 
collection care subject. These principles are also applied in Collection 
Management and Facilities Management courses ranging from Integrated 
Pest Management to Keeping Historic Houses & Museums Clean to Assessing 
Risk to Cultural Property.
