#collectionscare — Public Fediverse posts

It was such a joy and an honour to be featured in the first ever issue of Inherent Vice, a queer heritage zine aimed at conservators, archivists, and collections care folk. :heart_pride:

I've read every morsel of this publication now and I highly recommend it to any GLAM professional out there. 🌈

Yesterday I had great fun giving a masterclass talk on caring for #metals at the #MuseumsAndHeritageShow in London: I tried giving people an idea of what the most common reasons for #corrosion are, and how we can best avoid those and keep our metallic friends happy.

I like bringing props, so here are two beautiful sets of keys: the bundle on the left has been given a protective coating, and the one on the right hasn't. 🔑

Happy Halloween! 🎃

I've made another #conservation themed (or more accurately IPM themed) pumpkin this year: the SILVERFISH!

Previous years have included woolly bears, clothes moth, and tape. Because of course.

Keep it spooky out there! 🎃
