Thank you for including these on the consdistlist. Here are the upcoming
online professional development opportunities at Museum Study for the
next two months.
Understanding Photographic & Graphic Arts Materials course begins Oct 2
on MuseumStudy.com
Join photographic materials conservator Kim DuBois for Understanding
Photographic & Graphic Arts Materials. This course introduces the
various non-paper supports that contain both positive and negative
images from the dawn of photography through the 20th C. The need for a
stable support led to photographs being made on metal, glass, and
cellulose-based & polyester film. Each was developed for a specific type
of photography process, or for the development of new materials at hand.
The most commonly recognized and long-lived supports are the film-based
image processes. All of these items require different approaches and
materials for their proper care and storage.
Using the evolution of photography and printing media timelines, the
participants learn the characteristics & appearance to help identify the
photographic products. Each process is introduced with its particular
ageing process, inherent vice in materials, and deterioration
appearances to guide the decision-making process of preservation care &
access or display.

Social Relevance: Environmental Sustainability in Museums course begins

institutions. Join Instructor Sarah Sutton author of Environmental
Sustainability at Historic Sites and Museums, The Green Nonprofit and
Co-author of The Green Museum for this course which will be a survey of
the practical aspects of interpretation and public programming,
operational changes, building construction, and community engagement in

Integrated Pest Management: The Plan and Implementation online course
begins Nov 6 on MuseumStudy.com
A written plan formalizes the IPM strategy and keeps management abreast
of your status. It organizes your ideas and lays the groundwork for the
needs of the collection and the building(s). It provides the direction
in which you want to take the program, including grant funding and
accreditation.
Join Carnegie Museum of Natural History Conservator Gretchen Anderson
for this four week online course in which participants will learn how to
apply IPM principles to their specific situation and institution. A
draft plan and specific implementation strategies will be developed and
discussed. Even though our institutions have different challenges the
exchange of ideas presents the opportunity for us to help each other
brainstorm solutions that will work for our situation.
