*MS 211: Preservation Environments *

November 2 to 30, 2015

Instructor: Ernest Conrad

Location: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__museumclasses.org&d=AwIDaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=ztDnBMUEqgognGzpooX4imLfVMfFbSZHr7D2PWabNJo&s=Ntt-HN763z2cdm6IH8ovuSRZ6ax2IBo8q9ABvWipTr8&e= 

Description:

The museum's brick exterior wall is crumbling. The powder coated metal 
storage shelves have active rust under the foam padding. Objects in fur 
storage are covered in mold. It is raining in the exhibit hall. This is 
the damage that occurs to museum buildings or collection when staff do 
not understand preservation environments. Preservation Environments is 
essential knowledge for any collecting institution. Everyone should 
understand how humidity and temperature are controlled by a building and 
its mechanical system. For museum staff considering a new building – and 
any institution planning to expand or rebuild an existing one – 
Preservation Environments provide important information for calculating 
whether the proposed improvements will actually improve the 
environmental control of your protective enclosure. Participants learn 
the advantages and disadvantages of numerous methods of temperature and 
humidity control. Preservation Environments does not try to turn museum 
professionals into engineers. Rather, it arms them with the knowledge 
they need to work with engineers and maintenance professionals. And 
helps explain why damaged occurred and how to keep it from happening again.

*MS 212: Care of Textiles *

Instructor: Ann Coppinger

Location: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__museumclasses.org&d=AwIDaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=ztDnBMUEqgognGzpooX4imLfVMfFbSZHr7D2PWabNJo&s=Ntt-HN763z2cdm6IH8ovuSRZ6ax2IBo8q9ABvWipTr8&e= 

Description:
Caring for textiles demands an understanding of how and why they 
deteriorate. This course offers a simplified explanation of the origin 
and structure of textile fibers as well as the finished textile object; 
be it either a piece of whole cloth or a finished garment. Care of 
Textiles teaches students to identify fibers, fabric structures and 
finishes, write condition reports, and understand the agents of 
deterioration that are harmful to various fabrics both in storage on 
exhibit. Topics include preparing textiles for storage and exhibit, the 
use of archival materials with textiles, and three dimensional supports.

*MS 218: Collection Inventories *

November 2 to 30, 2015

Instructor: Peggy Schaller

Location: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__museumclasses.org&d=AwIDaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=ztDnBMUEqgognGzpooX4imLfVMfFbSZHr7D2PWabNJo&s=Ntt-HN763z2cdm6IH8ovuSRZ6ax2IBo8q9ABvWipTr8&e= 

Description:

Collection inventories are vital to collection management and security. 
You need to know what is in your collection to be able to manage it 
well. This means regular inventories must occur. But knowing you must do 
them and actually having the time and manpower to complete an inventory 
are two different things. Collection Inventories discusses everything 
you ever wanted to know about collection inventories. From how to set 
one up to how to conduct an inventory. Other topics include what to look 
for during an inventory and how to reconcile the information.

Description:

Safeguarding collections and protecting staff and visitors is one of hte 
most important functions of a cultural institution. Course introduces 
students to disaster preparedness, response and recovery of cultural 
collections for all types of potential hazards. The components of 
incident preparedness and response are explained with examples from the 
instructor's experience in recovery of cultural collections, including 
small to large situations with fire, flood, high winds, and earthquake. 
After an institutional plan is written, the next step is to train staff 
in prevention, proper staff actions during an event, and post-event 
recovery. This course complements Disaster Plan Research and Writing, 
taught by Terri Schindel.

Description:

Volunteers should be considered unpaid staff and, like a staff handbook, 
a strong volunteer organization should have a volunteer handbook. This 
course goes beyond understanding various aspects of a volunteer program 
to putting the volunteer program to paper. Create an outline and some 
draft text for a handbook providing consistency within the volunteers as 
well a legal support if ever needed.
