As museum collections continue to grow, adequate storage space is becoming
a rare commodity. 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 <http://www.re-org.info/>, developed by ICCROM
<http://www.iccrom.org/> 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.

*Featured Speaker:*
*Simon Lambert* 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. Simon is a Commonwealth scholar and recipient of a
2010 ICON Conservation Award (UK). After completing his studies, Simon
worked for two years at ICCROM (International Centre for the Study of the

cultural heritage protection in times of conflict, and on developing

joined CCI in 2012 as Preservation Development Advisor in Preservation
Services. His current interests include museum storage planning and
reorganization, the sustainability of museum activities, and standards for
