Conserv is hosting a free webinar on mold risk in cultural heritage collections, and we'd like to extend an invitation to the community.
On July 30 at 10:30am Eastern, Dr. Morena Ferreira, Preventive Conservator and mold expert, will walk through the fundamentals of mold in collection settings - what it is, what drives its development, and how institutions can approach prevention and monitoring.
Topics will include:
- What mold is and why it poses a risk to collections
- The environmental conditions that contribute to mold development, including the role of temperature and dew point
- Health and safety considerations for staff working with affected materials
- Practical approaches to prevention in collection environments
- An introduction to monitoring tools for tracking environmental conditions over time
The webinar is designed to be accessible across a range of roles - conservators, collections managers, registrars, archivists, and library staff are all welcome.
