This workshop looks at the preservation of material culture for staff or 
volunteers with little to no experience in the care of collections. The 
workshop is designed as an introduction to the care of collections for 
staff working in Aboriginal centres. Staff from other cultural centres 
and museums are welcome. The workshop covers how various types of 
materials deteriorate, how best to minimize this deterioration, how to 
identify problems of storage and display of various kinds of artifacts, 
and how to make informed choices relating to the long-term preservation 
of collections. A mixture of hands–on sessions, lectures, and discussion 
will be used

Cost $100-This fee includes refreshments & lunches provided during sessions.
