What are Islamicate or Islamic Collections and how do we care for them within collecting institutions/ as collection care professionals? The answers are neither singular nor simple, including the vocabulary used to describe these collections. These collections can encompass the sacred and the secular, the utilitarian and the venerated, and multi-religious, multicultural and multiethnic landscapes. The webinar aims to address some of these complexities, and to provide small to medium sized collecting institutions a better framework for understanding these materials, advice on identifying sacred objects, and respectful approaches for caring for Islamicate collections.
