Hallmarks at Home – Care of industrial collections

The care of industrial collections workshop will introduce those who look after these often complex objects to techniques they can use to help look after them better. As many of these objects are large they are often stored or displayed outside in less than ideal conditions.

Participants will be introduced to the Agents of Deterioration and how they impact on an object’s materials over time. You will then be introduced to a number of basic and simple things that can be done to help with the long term preservation of your collections.

The session will be hosted by Peter Meehan ACR who has worked with many AIM members on the conservation of their industrial collections.
