Probably not the same one, but in the late '80s I trained generations of student prep assistants with a good video from the Gallery Association of New York State called "Basic Art Handling." The citation below is NOT it: the one I had was 30 minutes long and was produced in like 1985. This one must be a newer version. http://www.vmfa.state.va.us/osp/film_videoB.html Basic Art Handling ED-266 15 min / color / 1988 / GANY / VHS College through adult Have you ever pondered the proper procedure for moving a large sculpture from one place to another? Do you know the safest way to store paintings and prints? These and other art-handling questions are addressed in this videotape, produced by the Gallery Association of New York State. Professionals and private collectors answer questions about preserving precious objects, and a professional conservator demonstrates techniques designed to make art handling safe and effective. Recommended for classes in conservation and art handling, as well as for use by professional organizations. The G.A.N.Y. organization also has a great, simple art packing handbook called "Way to Go" that I also used to train student prep assistants.

I recall a video shown during one of my graduate classes at Texas Tech that illustrated proper handling techniques of museum artifacts. I remember that it was about 10 or 15 years old when I saw it in 2000-2001, and that it was hosted by Candace Matelic. I just tried quickly finding it online but had no luck. Maybe another lister knows which video I'm thinking of. The video was rather dry, but had some very good information. Amanda Thompson Dyer Curator Bell County Museum 201 N. Main St. P.O.

I am trying to locate some sort of museum object handling video to show new interns, volunteers and employees. Can anyone suggest a good video/DVD that explains basic artifact/object handling and moving procedures? If possible could you also tell me where I could purchase this item? Thank you very much.
