Preventative Conservation Tch

Course description

Students are introduced to museum standards and practices relative to handling, shipping, displaying, and storing collections, and explore the common causes of damage and deterioration of museum and gallery objects. Students learn how to protect collections through preventative techniques and perform tasks related to ongoing collection maintenance, including condition reporting. Students also review the network of conservation authorities and resources involved in this work

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
