Webinar on collection care

Webinar

"When Less is All You Got:  Budget-conscious solutions to protect
    collections on display and in storage:
with Ernest Conrad and Lisa Mibach
April 21, 2015
2 - 3pm EDT

Sign up for the next Connecting to Collections Care webinar on
museum environments--it's free.

In an ideal world, all buildings that house and display collections
would have purpose-designed environmental control systems that work,
enclosed display cases, chemically-neutral storage and display cases
and containers, and enough trained staff to care for collections.
Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

The first part of the webinar will illustrate the diagnostic effects
of the lack of environmental controls, and will discuss
budget-conscious solutions to protect collections on display and in
storage.  The second part will deal with proper storage and display
conditions so that objects can weather minor disruptions.  If you
don't have ideal storage and display conditions, you need to have
regularly updated priority lists of objects (in order of
vulnerability) to check during/after an environmental failure or
change.
