Workshops for InstitutionS

BACC can create on-site, customized educational workshops available to your institution or professional association through our institution-based training program.

A wide range of topics are offered, from those appropriate for institutions just embarking on a preservation planning program to specific, issue-oriented sessions geared to institutions that are further along in their conservation program. Just a few of the current topics available for training are:
  • Basic Condition Reporting for Collections Managers
  • Biological Attack! Pests and Mold
  • Care of Collections: Paintings and Painted Surfaces
  • Creating an Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan for Collections
  • Disaster Recovery for Collections: The First 24-48 Hours After a Disaster
  • Handling and Housekeeping for Collections
  • Making Material Choices for Paper and Photographs
  • Surveying and Assessing Collection Need
