<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"">A wide choice of primary training is available in this country in aspects of object care. However, there are relatively few opportunities
for conservation professionals to find specialist training in traditional skills and enhance their knowledge of materials and techniques. West Dean College has developed a series of short courses aimed at meeting this training need.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:6.25pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"">Dried botanical collections are most commonly known as herbaria and are found in research institutions and museums. Collections
can comprise of millions of specimens yet there are few courses available to deal with the intricacies of conserving this material. Often it is the task of paper conservators to work on these collections, however tried and tested techniques for paper are
not suitable and are often damaging to plant collections. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:6.25pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"">Natural science collections are broad in range and their chemistry is complex therefore the conservation is not straight
forward. Several issues encompass this material not only its natural propensity to degrade but also the fact that it is a good food source for insects and moulds. As a consequence of this, most organic collections have been treated with historic pesticides.
These are often extremely toxic and very stable and therefore historic botanical collections require extra consideration before starting work. This course will highlight typical signs of treatment and will provide methods of identifying the actual contaminant
applied.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:6.25pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"">This course will provide comprehensive training in the basics of collecting and pressing of fresh material through to
the storage and cleaning of bound herbaria and will include current research regarding best practice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"">The practical sessions are designed to give an opportunity for conservators to learn the best methods to apply to a range of botanical collections
