Troublesome Trophies and Fragile Feathered Friends: Introduction to the
Care of Historic Taxidermy
Taxidermy mounts are challenging composite artifacts susceptible to damage
from both environmental and biological factors.  Whether a single trophy
mount graces your historic home, several form a diorama in your museum, or
you have a collection of natural science specimens, knowing how mounts are
made, how they deteriorate and how to care for them is essential for their
preservation.  This webinar is an introduction to the care of taxidermy by
a master taxidermist and an objects conservator.  The presentation will
cover what to look for in a mount to help determine its manner of
construction and perhaps it’s age, how mounts typically deteriorate over
time and how to provide proper preventive care.  If refurbishment is
necessary, taxidermists and conservators often have differing approaches
and the presenters will describe what to expect from the process. Health
and safety concerns in dealing with older mounts will also be covered.
