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.
