Conversations on the Commons January 21: All About Objects

All About Objects: Artifact Care and Description

January 21, 2022, 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. *new time*

With Valarie Kinkade, Principal of Museum and Collector Resource, LLC, and Stacen Goldman, Curator at the Framingham History Center

Filigree or verdigris? Crazing or cracking?  There’s a lot of talk about archival processes, but what about object care and description? Do you know how to deal with that mildewed leather portfolio? Pigeon poop on statues or memorials? How do you tag a porcelain teapot? Describe an old painting?  What guidelines do you use? Do you have guidelines for your enthusiastic volunteers? Tell us about your projects, share your sources, and let’s connect over a conversation on object collections.

Registration is free. REGISTRATION OPEN SOON. (Check our Eventbrite page to subscribe to online event announcements)

This Conversation will be livestreamed. We will do our best to monitor your questions and comments during the livestream. A recording will be publicly available in the Conversations on the Commons Archive.
