Veterans Heritage Workshop - Mildura
22 Feb 2012How do I preserve objects, documents and other war memorabilia in my collection?
On Wednesday 7 March 2012, a free one-day Veterans Heritage Workshop will be held in Mildura. This event is for volunteers from local historical societies, RSLs and other community groups which care for war-related heritage collections. It is designed to increase the skills and knowledge of volunteers and help them preserve this important cultural material for future generations.
Museum professionals will address common questions such as:
- What is the right way to store objects and documents?
- How can fragile objects be protected?
- What is the safest way to display material without damaging it?
- How should we catalogue our collection?
Please contact Marina Larsson, Veterans Unit, Department of Planning and Community Development, for more details – marina.larsson@dpcd.vic.gov.au, 9935 3041.
