Professional Development Workshops

On occasion, the Conservation Center offers professional development workshops in conservation technology and collections care that are open to conservators, artists, art historians, archivists, museum professionals, science professionals, and art history students. The workshops are usually held during the summer months when semester classes are not in session. Classroom lectures are oftentimes combined with hands-on laboratory practice to familiarize participants with current methodologies. Past workshop topics have included pressure sensitive tape removal, modular cleaning, McCrone microscopy, photodocumentation, spot testing, understanding continuous patterns in textiles, and the conservation of plastics.
