In this relaxed, interactive session, our conservators will introduce the key principles behind caring for historic and sentimental items, from books and documents to leather goods, textiles, and everyday objects passed down through families. You’ll learn how materials age, what causes damage, and the simple steps you can take at home to help your objects last for generations.
Participants are invited to bring a small item or clear photographs for discussion. Our team will guide you through ways to assess condition, reduce risks, and decide when professional conservation or further support might be needed.
Perfect for anyone interested in family history, personal collections, or understanding how to protect cherished belongings.
What to expect:
