Museum Skills Workshops: Preserving Your Prized Possessions

Don't let your history fade away!

Bring one small personal item and learn techniques to keep it looking like new for years. Examples of items are a photograph, a christening gown, a doll, a coin, a book.

RAM Conservators will show you how to keep your objects safe for the future, and how you can care for and preserve your personal collections, whatever they may be.
