Join our Senior Conservator at Devon Heritage Centre for a practical workshop showing how to look after your family or community archive.
This two-hour workshop will provide professional guidance on preserving historical documents, photographs and other materials that hold personal or communal significance.
You'll gain practical experience in basic cleaning techniques, learn about managing risks to your collections and identify common pests that feed on archival material.
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions and receive tailored advice in an interactive Q&A.
Booking essential, £12.
This workshop is part of Discovery Saturdays, where attendees can also book a Searchroom session for their research.
