>INTERACTIVE TRAINING WORKSHOP

>Canadian Museums Association (CMA) Annual Conference
>June 9-10, 1997
>Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa
>
>PROTECTING AN INVALUABLE HERITAGE
>Museum collections continue to grow and their maintenance is
>increasingly costly. These collections often contain
>irreplaceable objects and represent centuries of painstaking work
>and incalculable monetary investment. Every institution must
>invest in preventive conservation to protect this invaluable
>heritage for generations to come. In these challenging times of
>public accountability and financial restraint, it is becoming
>increasingly important to manage these collections in a cost-
>effective manner. It is critical to establish priorities of
>action to ensure their care and safekeeping.
>
>THE WORKSHOP:
>This 2-DAY non-technical workshop has been designed for
>directors, managers, administrators, curators, collection
>managers, researchers, conservators, preparators, volunteers,
>indeed any stakeholder in collection preservation. It will
>highlight a methodology developed by the Canadian Museum of
>Nature which gives a global framework for establishing priorities
>in the area of preventive conservation. The methodology is based
>on risk assessment processes and risk management principles
>applied in business and industry.
>
>During the workshop, participants will learn how to:
> - identify all agents of deterioration,
> - identify risk types,
> - estimate magnitudes of risks,
> - rank their relative importance,
> - mitigate risks, and
> - evaluate the relative costs, benefits and collateral risks of
>implementing the proposed mitigation measures.
>
>The workshop is a highly interactive training session which
>includes both theoretical and practical components in which
>participants play an important part. Information is obtained
>through lectures, demonstrations, brainstorming in small groups,
>assembling of ideas, presentation and discussion. The teaching
>approach fosters team-building and mutual understanding.
>Participants will receive different learning tools including the
>workshop manual which contains the complete course content,
>exercises, references and a glossary of terms.
>
>KEY BENEFITS FOR YOUR STAFF AND INSTITUTIONS
>This workshop will enable anyone involved with collections to:
> - communicate clearly preventive conservation issues,
>requirements and their relative importance to other staff and
>to management and funding bodies,
> - convince management and funding bodies of the importance of
>the issues and of the necessity to invest in preventive
>measures,
> - consider all issues related to proposed mitigation strategies
>from an institutional perspective,
> - compare different risks among different collections,
> - prioritise and identify preventive conservation issues and
>mitigation measures,
> - work in teams within their own institution,
> - develop cost-effective plans to reduce overall risks.
>
>The workshop will be presented by Robert Waller (Chief,
>Conservation) and Sylvie Marcil (Senior Conservator) of the
>Canadian Museum of Nature, at its Victoria Memorial Museum
>Building location, McLeod at Metcalfe St., Ottawa.
