This five-part lecture series helps religious institutions
understand the basic care of cultural materials for which they are
stewards. The talks will address the principles of caring for,
displaying, and storing materials found in religious collections and
buildings. Preventive conservation and information on practical ways
to ensure the long-term stability of artifacts and documents will
also be discussed.  The series is tailored for staff and volunteers
responsible for collections in churches, synagogues, mosques, or
other spiritual or religious centers, but is open to all interested
parties. For more information or to register, contact Nicole Hayes
