Preserving Heritage Collections course begins Nov 6 on MuseumStudy.com Preserving our collections is part of our mission, but how do we actually do that without the unlimited resources necessary to execute industry standards? It is a challenge cultural heritage stewards face daily.

First it is necessary to understand what can cause deterioration of our cultural heritage, the Agents of Deterioration, as covered in our free course Introduction to the Agents of Deterioration. Next we must learn how to strategize to preserve our collections with the resources available to us.

Our new course Preserving Heritage Collections is the next step in collections care after our free Introduction to the Agents of Deterioration course. Conservator Gretchen Anderson will provide the strategy necessary to use knowledge of the Agents of Deterioration to preserve collections. Using the Canadian Conservation Institute's Framework for Preservation we will develop strategies that we can actually implement with our available resources. We will also learn when a solution is beyond our ability and then it is time to call in a subject matter or skilled specialist. Discover what resources are available to help us with preservation including knowledge and funding.

Learn how to weave more sustainable practices into our daily and long-term strategies. If you are not already familiar with preservation principles you should take this course before taking any other collection care subject. These principles are also applied in Collection Management and Facilities Management courses ranging from Integrated Pest Management to Keeping Historic Houses & Museums Clean to Assessing Risk to Cultural Property.
