Also, a late September entry that was missed, but available through an archive:

September 24, 2015, "Troublesome Trophies and Fragile Feathered Friends:

Introduction to the Care of Historic Taxidermy"  1:00 - 2:30 EDT (90 minutes) https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.connectingtocollections.org_troublesome-2Dtrophies-2Dand-2Dfragile-2Dfeathered-2Dfriends-2Dintroduction-2Dto-2Dthe-2Dcare-2Dof-2Dhistoric-2Dtaxidermy_&d=AwIFAg&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=DqYoVndGw7-zOFG-qv8F0UXSZSkY9f8fp_Is5lts3i0&s=ABZRYbm_T9lAyASipj6Gk6-ut6_MFZcqyr5efCselso&e= 

Taxidermy mounts are challenging composite artifacts susceptible to damage from both environmental and biological factors.  Whether a single trophy mount graces your historic home, several form a diorama in your museum, or you have a collection of natural science specimens, knowing how mounts are made, how they deteriorate and how to care for them is essential for their preservation.

This webinar is an introduction to the care of taxidermy by a master taxidermist and an objects conservator.  The presentation will cover what to look for in a mount to help determine its manner of construction and perhaps it's age, how mounts typically deteriorate over time and how to provide proper preventive care.  If refurbishment is necessary, taxidermists and conservators often have differing approaches and the presenters will describe what to expect from the process. Health and safety concerns in dealing with older mounts will also be covered.



Featured Speakers:



George Dante, Founder, Wildlife Preservations, has more than 30 years of experience as a taxidermist, model maker, illustrator and fine artist and Eugenie Milroy is a Professional Associate member of the American Institute for Conservation (AIC) with over 20 years of museum and conservation experience.

Description:

As we march boldly toward the 22nd century, artifact collecting includes that most fragile of materials - plastic. Not only is it in our collections, but it is used to house our collections, too. What problems have you seen? What problems have others seen? What materials are best? What can we, as caretakers, do to minimize long-term damage? Join Diana in this mini-course for discussing care and deterioration of plastics. Bring any questions you have about plastics in your museum.

Description:

What do you do with collection objects that no longer belong in the scientific collection but are too good to throw out? What do you do with the donations that just don't quite 'fit?' Use them in education collections. Their value as educational objects for the public is immeasurable.
