About this Event
Over the course of a year, two of the conservation team here at Durham completed a survey of all collection storage sites at Durham University, looking at a sample of over 3,000 objects or boxes of objects. This was part of a wider collection care project to identify the current condition of objects in our storage and where future improvements can be made.
Join us to learn more about the objects in our stores, best conservation practices for caring for these objects, and challenges faced along the way when completing a large-scale storage survey.
Free and all welcome. Please book through Eventbrite or by calling Palace Green Library on 0191 334 2932.
The World Heritage Visitor Centre and the Museum of Archaeology are also open until 7pm during the Twilight Openings.
Please note, due to essential building work, this talk will be held at 7 Owengate on Palace Green.
The address is 7 Owengate, Durham, DH1 3HB
