    March 5-March 26, 2025, 1:00 pm – C2C Care Course Practical Risk Assessment for Small and Mid-Sized Cultural Heritage Institutions

    Early Bird Fee Extended!

    Risk Assessments are one of the most important steps that heritage institutions can take in emergency and business continuity planning. Utilizing existing knowledge of their institution and its collections, participants will evaluate hazards and risks to undertake a risk assessment specific to their institution, enabling them to identify potential natural, traditional, made or non-traditional risks and evaluate their impact. At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:

    • Identify and understand the internal and external hazards likely to affect their institution (building, collections, people)
    • Evaluate the likelihood of these hazards affecting their institution
    • Rank these risks posed by these hazards through the lens of their institution's key functions and program priorities
    • Assess the likelihood and impact of these hazards on their institution's buildings and collections
    • Summarize this information and identify risk priorities using a Heritage Risk Assessment Matrix

    Registration Fee

    • $99 Early Bird through February 21, 2025
    • $149 Regular Fee

    March 17, 2025, 1:00 pm-2:00 pm – C2C Care Webinar De-mystifying Environmental Data

    Providing a safe environment for collections is one of the key tenets of preservation. This is because temperature and moisture have a direct impact on the condition of collections. Cultural institutions are often advised to collect temperature and relative humidity data to monitor the environment. The collection phase of this process is easy. Managing the data and understanding what it is telling you about your spaces is more difficult. This webinar focuses on de-mystifying the process of environmental data collection and analysis. Topics covered include good, better, and best practices for setpoints, analysis software, and communicating findings with stakeholders.
