Not Perfection: Realistic Approaches to Environmental Monitoring and Collections Stewardship for Archives!</span></strong><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Feeling overwhelmed by preservation "best practices" that seem out of reach? Join Claire Winfield (Conserv) and Megan O'Hern-Crook & Brandon Werts (HAI) for a candid and engaging conversation about how archives
can take practical, manageable steps toward better environmental monitoring and management-without needing a gold-standard budget or facility.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This informal coffee chat will focus on how institutions can identify high-impact starting points, make incremental improvements, and shift from reactive to proactive care of their spaces and collections. We'll
also share real-world examples, field horror stories (and lessons learned!), and discuss how environmental data can support preservation planning and assessments. Bring your questions, your war stories, and your curiosity-half the session will be open Q&A.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Please use the zoom link below. The session will not be recorded. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Claire Winfield</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> is a painting conservator and Head of Growth at Conserv, an environmental monitoring platform focused on the unique needs of
collections. Prior to joining Conserv, Claire spearheaded light monitoring efforts at the Saint Louis Art Museum with a focus on a newly-built, daylit wing for special exhibition and permanent galleries. Her work included evaluating projections from lighting
designers, establishing light monitoring protocols and the use of cumulative exposure models for recordkeeping and evaluation, incorporating cumulative models into the museum's CMS, and recommending building and protocol modifications to support preservation
efforts. Claire has over 10 years of benchwork conservation experience from private practice, regional center, and museums including the Art Institute of Chicago and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
