Essential Policies and Procedures for Cultural Collections

Workshop III of the Regional Heritage Stewardship Program

Presented by the Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts

An institution’s collections care and business practices are defined by its written policies and procedures. Institutional memory is often lost through staff changes, but best practices are encoded in these important documents.

This workshop will provide an overview of policy and planning documents that are essential for collections care, such as environmental policies, housekeeping guidelines, and maintenance policies.

Participants will learn the critical components of these documents and will receive tangible examples of how to adapt them to different institutions. Policy development, approval, and implementation responsibilities of staff, volunteer, and board will be discussed.

Speaker: Dyani Feige, Director of Preservation Services, Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts

Fees: $30 per day, or $50 for both workshops III & IV
