Hi everyone! I'm Nicole and I'm serving as the Minnesota Alliance for Heritage Response board secretary. I also work as a Preventive Conservator for the Midwest Art Conservation Center, based in Minneapolis, and emergency heritage response is one of my things. :) This spring (2024) I was fortunate to be a part of a training organized by UNESCO for cultural heritage workers in Ukraine and it really hit me hard how critical protecting heritage is for preserving community identity and even nationhood. This is important work.
Welcome to the community! Please feel free to introduce yourself here and share a little bit about your collection and the risks you are guarding against.
