You are invited to join the Archives Association of BC in Kelowna on Tuesday, May 12th for an in-person preventative conservation workshop!

The Okanagan Heritage Museum Conservation team will lead this 1-day hands-on workshop that will enhance your preventative conservation skills. Participants will learn about pests and preventative measures, and how to create custom boxes, 4-flap folders, and safely encapsulate items. The workshop will also include a discussion forum where participants can share conservation concerns and questions related to the storage and care of archival materials in their holdings. This learning opportunity is perfect for those working in archives, libraries, and museums with archival materials. Participants will bring home enclosure samples.

Note: workshop participants are responsible for their own lunch and any travel fees related to the workshop. Light refreshments will be provided throughout the day.
