2011 Workshop
Conservation Basics for Museum Collections
Description: What happens when museums need help caring for their
artifact collections, but do not have the funds to call in a team of trained conservators? Learn basic
techniques that can be used to care for, stabilize, and protect typical museum artifacts. Presenters will
share helpful tips about a range of artifacts such as textiles, wood, and paper.
Speakers:
Leo Landis, Salisbury House & Gardens will discuss conservation in general
Sheila Hanke, Conservator/Collections Manager, Iowa Battle Flag Project, State Historical Society of Iowa will discuss
care of textiles
Sarah Carlson, Assistant Conservator/Assistant Collections Manager, Iowa Battle Flag Project, State Historical Society
of Iowa will discuss conservation concerns for exhibits
Tanya Zanish-Belcher, Archivist, Iowa State University Library, will discuss paper conservation
Julie Andersen, Danish intern at the Danish Immigrant Museum, has worked at the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde,
