Plastics are among the most challenging materials in modern collections, with wide variation in composition and aging behavior. In this webinar, Senior Objects Conservator Claire Curran will demystify plastics preservation, beginning with identification and moving through common forms of deterioration. Claire will also offer practical guidance on storage, handling, and display strategies that can slow degradation and reduce risk. Participants will come away with a clearer understanding of why plastics fail-and what can be done to care for them more effectively.
This has been one of our most popular webinars in the past, so I hope you will join us!
