What is the best way to clean our chandelier?
We have some old film that is starting to smell like vinegar - is this a problem? I noticed some moth holes in our quilt collection - what do I do? The ABC’s of Collection Care provides readers with answers to these questions and more, along with practical advice and encouragement on how to care for the objects in their collection. Featuring 144 full-color photographs of objects from some of the Hudson River Valley’s historic sites and museums, this guide will aid staff and volunteers in care and handling, storage solutions, important points to remember, and when to seek out a professional conservator. Since 1979, Greater Hudson Heritage Network (GHHN) has helped heritage keepers in New York State care for their collections through hands-on trainings, technical assistance, and grant opportunities for organizations statewide. We know how small and mid-size heritage organizations operate - we’ve worked alongside you every day for more than 40 years and are passionate about empowering all those who take on the role of collection steward. The ABCs of Collection Care is now available as a print book, or an ebook, via Amazon. Sites may also buy in bulk (minimum of 10 books) to sell in their museum shop or gift store - click here for bulk purchases.
