Care of Collections Reading Group - 3 June - Touch Decisions: For Heritage Objects
Submitted by Marina Herriges on 11 Apr 2025
The Care of Collections Reading Group explores and discusses open access articles covering preservation, collection care and collection wide conservation such as environmental monitoring, risk management, collection moves, etc. This activity provides an accountability partner for reading through the new or established research as a method of keeping our awareness high.
The group meets the first Tuesday, every two months for an hour of discussion 16.00 GMT. All are welcome to attend –though if you haven't read the book/journal/article, you won't miss any spoilers: degradation, embrittlement, climate change!
Fourth session: 3 June, 2025 via Zoom.
Sign up for June's session, nominate a text for future reading and comment upon an August session.
Please note, if you attended previously, emails are not retained so sign up for each new session.
Fourth session reading choice is:
