Happy Holidays everyone!
It is hard to believe that 2022 is just around the corner. We have 3 courses starting January 3.
Keeping Historic Houses & Museums Clean
An unkempt museum or historic house is not appealing to the
visitor nor is it healthy for the staff and collection. In this 4
week online professional development course instructor Gretchen
Anderson will lay a foundation as to how to clean objects and
facilities safely. We will explore a variety of subjects,
including health and safety for the staff and the objects,
cleaning methods for a large variety of collection types common in
art & cultural institutions and the importance of documenting
what you do.
One former participant said, "This class was so helpful! This was
such a great resource! For the first time since I started working
here, my staff really seems to understand why I ask them to do
what we do. It has really been the start of some great
conversations on site and we will 100% use the techniques
learned."
Cleaning and sterilizing the museum is in the news these days.
Once we get back in to our museums and historic houses we will
need to be extra careful. Please join us for this timely class to
look at methods to protect both the collection and your visitors.

Collections Emergencies: Preparedness to Resilience
Diverse hazards are threatening our cultural institutions and can
quickly turn into emergencies or disasters. Do you feel
comfortable using your emergency plan or responding to an
emergency? Have you fully prepared for a response and a resilient
recovery? Join Rebecca Kennedy of Curae Collections Care, LLC for
the 4 week online course Collections
Emergencies: Preparedness to Resilience. This course will go
beyond the basics of emergency planning and teach participants how
to turn their plans into living documents that work in all
emergency events. We will focus on practical skills to guide
participants from preparedness through response, into recovery and
finally to resiliency.
