    Register for TWO upcoming webinars offered by C2C Care in November 2024!

    Grooved audio media, such as wax cylinders, shellac discs, and vinyl records, can be found in many archival and museum collections at small and mid-sized institutions, often featuring significant historical moments and cultural expressions. However, these materials can be vulnerable to damage and deterioration if not properly cared for. In this webinar, we will explore effective preservation strategies tailored specifically for these unique formats.

    Increasing awareness among museums, institutions, and tribal communities about the potential risks of pesticide contamination residues on cultural heritage collections is critical, especially with increasing Indigenous involvement in collection care and the formal repatriation of cultural heritage to Native communities. This webinar will include an overview, case studies, panel discussion, and an opportunity for participants to pose questions relating to these issues.
