AIC's 45th Annual Meeting

Preservation professionals, be they conservators, collection managers, registrars, or others, have an initial opportunity to shape the preservation of collections by contributing to planning of construction and renovation projects. Being able to understand architectural drawings and the preservation outcomes that the built environment will achieve is central to making good decisions for collection preservation.

This two-day workshop will bring together architects and engineers experienced in working with conservators to teach skills involved with understanding architectural, mechanical, electrical, and exhibition design drawings. Without formalized training in reading drawings, conservators and allied collection professionals may be missing crucial details that will affect their work and preservation of their collections. This course will enable the preservation professional to be better advocates for the collections and the staff that work with them in producing sustainable and effective preservation spaces. It will improve preservation professionals' abilities as project team members, providing benefits for institution and collection preservation alike.
