Paper Conservation of a Paper Collection | Museum From Home with Lucilla Ronai

Join me as I begin the major paper conservation of a paper collection - 288 prints on paper. The treatment included washing, repairs and infills! These prints are part of the Admiral Paris collection at the Australian National Maritime Museum. This conservation treatment and video is some insight to the day in the life of a paper conservator (also known as an art conservator, artefact conservator or materials conservator) working at a museum.

Heritage professionals around the world are creating content to ensure you can find out more about collection items and museums during these times through Museum From Home, Museum At Home and Conservation At Home initiatives!
