Collection Pop-Up: Collection Management

Gloves or no gloves? What is a book pillow? How do collection managers move an artwork?

Archives and Special Collections holds a wide range of material, including rare books, works on paper, photographs, and objects. Ensuring that these collections are handled safely is one of the best ways to preserve the condition of these items and allow our collections to be accessed for generations to come.

Join Jean, Riva, Clare, and Allison from our Collections Management team for a rare opportunity to learn the best ways to handle our collections. This session will start with a demonstration using our Special Collections material, followed by an opportunity to join in and practice object handling yourself.
