<p>Description:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
