We have moved our Discussion Forum to a new Platform, the C2C Care Community. The directions about joining the new community can be found here: https://www.connectingtocollections.org/discussions-have-moved/ The C2C Care Community is the place to ask questions about caring for your collections. Conservator Monitors are on hand to answer your questions and to help you solve problems encountered when caring for your collections. Even if you were previously part of the C2C Care Discussion Forum, you need to join the new Community. We hope to see you there.
We are also beginning a series of C2C Care Courses. These courses offer a series of related webinars, discussions, projects and resources. Those who participate in all parts of a Course are eligible for a CREDLY badge. Course webinars are not offered a la carte. The basic fee for our courses is $149.00 and there are discounts for early registration. Our first Course is Preservation Methods and Materials for Exhibitions that will be offered from October 25 – November 15, 2018. For more information and to register see: https://www.connectingtocollections.org/course-exhibit-preservation-methods-materials/
Our free webinars will continue as always. There are two webinars on offer during October. See our website www.connectingtocollections.org for updates and for access to our archives and resources.
The Connecting to Collections Care Online Community helps smaller cultural institutions to provide well-informed care for valuable collections. The program is offered by the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation of Artistic and Historic Works with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
