Senge, and an overview of the application process for the Heritage Collections Care program by 4Culture Heritage Lead Eric Taylor. Planned sessions include presentations about the care, handling, storing and exhibiting of common materials in heritage collections: textiles, paintings, objects, paper and photographs.
