• Basic Artifact Handling and Storage for Archivists $25
  Instructor: Linda Jacobson

  Whether or not an object will be preserved for the future depends upon the care and storage provided for it today. Three-dimensional artifacts often require different treatments than paper items. This hands-on workshop is designed to provide basic background for individuals without prior training or experience in handling the objects that often appear in archival repositories. Participants will learn about preservation methods for organic and inorganic items. Topics covered will include surface cleaning, labeling, accessioning, and proper storage. October 6, 9:15 am-1:15 p.m. ½ day; minimum registration of 5, capacity 20
