<p><strong>MS 211: Preservation Environments </strong></p>
<p>November 2 to 30, 2015</p>
<p>Instructor: Ernest Conrad</p>
<p>Location: <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__museumclasses.org&d=AwMDaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=ztDnBMUEqgognGzpooX4imLfVMfFbSZHr7D2PWabNJo&s=Ntt-HN763z2cdm6IH8ovuSRZ6ax2IBo8q9ABvWipTr8&e=">http://museumclasses.org</a><br>
</p>
<p>Description:</p>
<p>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.</p>

</p>
<p>Description:<br>
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.</p>

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

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

consistency within the volunteers as well a legal support if ever
needed.</p>
