UK – Online courses in care of museum objects; collections; conservation | Jewish Heritage Europe

Via Jewish Heritage Europe: The Museum of London is offering online courses on the care, conservation and preservation of collections and artifacts. 

From the Museum’s web site:

Conservators are able to use their specialist skills to stabilise fragile and deteriorating objects and carry out often painstakingly careful cleaning so that they can be put on display. (…)

An important part of our work is ‘collection care’, where we ensure that temperature, humidity, light, dust and pests levels in the displays and stores are carefully controlled. (…)

For distance self- learning, we have created a number of e-learning and self-assessment tools:

• Emergency Planning Tool

• Handling Museum Objects

• Introduction to Museum Pests

• Packing Museum Objects for Storage

• Packing Museum Objects for Moving
