Samantha Forsko, Head Registrar, Smart Museum of Art
Caretakers of cultural heritage collections are often intimidated by “best practices.” Every collecting institution wants to do their best for every object in their collection, but most museums don't have the funds for high-tech HVAC systems or the staff time to develop comprehensive preservation plans, nor do all of their collection material warrant the absolute "best" treatment.
With limited staff, time, and money, how do organizations find ways to implement preservation practices that are feasible and sustainable? How can collections care be made practical and approachable to organizations of all sizes? This free webinar will explore those concepts, focusing on the presenter's recent publication, Practical Approaches to Collections Care.
