A recent international survey indicated that roughly two thirds of collections in storage were at serious risk. With poor storage conditions, it is challenging for museums to use collections for enjoyment, research or education; moreover, effective emergency response may be compromised. Re-ORG<a href="http://www.re-org.info/" target="_blank"></a>, developed by ICCROM<a href="http://www.iccrom.org/" target="_blank"></a> and UNESCO, is a step-by-step methodology to assist small museums in reorganizing their storage areas for better access and conservation. The focus of RE-ORG is on making improvements to existing storage areas, and not on planning and building new facilities. This webinar is an introduction to the RE-ORG methodology and various tools (both current and upcoming), and to the Canadian Conservation Institute’s RE-ORG: Canada training program.</div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18.2000007629395px"><br></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18.2000007629395px"><strong>Featured Speaker:</strong></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18.2000007629395px"><strong>Simon Lambert</strong> holds a B.A. in art history and Italian literature from McGill University, and obtained a Laurea in paintings conservation at the University of Urbino, Italy and an M.Sc. in the Care of Collections at Cardiff University, UK.
