In partnership with the Midwest Art Conservation Center

Cosponsored by the Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul, MN 

 

St. Paul, MN

 

October 12 & 13, 2010

 

Museums, libraries, archives, and other institutions caring for cultural
collections are frequently looking for ways to maximize the use of their
storage areas, improve upon current facilities, and perhaps plan for new
storage locations.  

 

Participants in this two-day conference will hear experts in the field
of design, space planning, and environmental control and modification
speak about practical methods and applications to improve and maximize
storage spaces for cultural collections.  Sessions will include case
studies that demonstrate how institutions of various sizes have
implemented storage initiatives. 

 

This conference is intended for staff involved in collections care,
planning, and management, including directors and administrators,
collections managers, curators, preparators, registrars, librarians and
archivists; as well as facilities managers, architects, and space
planners working with cultural institutions. The program will address
storage planning needs for institutions of all sizes. 

 

Sessions will include:

 

 

*             The essentials of collections storage 

*             Allocating resources and funding for collections storage
projects

*             Space planning

*             Environmental considerations

*             Understanding HVAC systems

*             Factors for selection in off-site storage

*             Retrofitting less than ideal storage spaces

*             Visible storage

*             Moving collections
