Heritage organizations worldwide are increasingly under pressure to operate in a more sustainable manner, and this workshop – organized by the Managing Collection Environments (MCE) Initiative at the Getty Conservation Institute – will address obstacles in developing and implementing more adaptive environmental management strategies.
