Presented by the Getty Museum Conservation Departments, the Getty Conservation Institute's Managing Collection Environments, and Getty Sustainability, with the support of the Getty Museum Office of the Associate Director of Collections.
Conservators at the National Gallery of Art have been practicing preventive conservation for decades, but the Preventive Conservation Department was only formally established in 2014. Over the last ten years, the department has developed procedures and protocols focused on preserving the Gallery's collection. This work is built around a spirit of collaboration between conservators and other stakeholders in the institution. The ways in which preventive conservators navigate their role in a large museum will be discussed.
Jamie Gleason is a Senior Preventive Conservator at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. He received his Master of Arts, and Certificate of Advanced Study in Objects Conservation from the Garman Conservation Center at Buffalo State University in 2013. He joined the Objects Conservation Department at the National Gallery of Art the same year as a Mellon Fellow and moved to the newly formed Preventive Conservation Department in 2015. In addition to his work at the National Gallery, he is the Getty AATA Field Editor for Preventive Conservation and General Topics.
