The ICON Ethnography Group wishes to invite all ICON Positive Futures 2013
attendees to our afternoon session on Thursday 11th April 2013.
We have six fascinating talks that link together the conservation of Ethnography
and Natural History collections. In using the similarity of materials as a
starting point, the session will touch on a range of collections care issues and
treatment strategies across the two specialisms.
The following is the schedule for the afternoon session held on the 11th April:
14:20 Chair's Intro
14:25 Kate Fulcher, `The diverse use of AJK on ethnographic and natural history
objects'
14:45 Lorraine Gibson, `Heritage smells: vapour-phase detection of biocides in
cultural heritage environments'
15:05 Emilia Kingham and Elena Torok, `Zulu Hide Shields from the British
Museum: Designing Plans for Condition Assessment, Conservation Treatment, and
Long-term Storage'
15:25 Questions
15:40 Tea
16:10 Chair's Intro
16:15 Landis Smith and Sarah Owens, `The Conservation of Smithsonian Yup'ik

Collaborating and Compromising with Stakeholders'
16:55 Arianna Bernucci, `Dual Personality: Preserving both the historic and

We hope you can join us for a diverse session that we hope will inspire positive
future collaborations between these two varied collections!
