Guest Lecture: "From paper conservation to collection management: Conservation in Complex Organisations" (Dr Anna Buelow) In her keynote speech, Anna will sketch her own journey from being a paper conservator to managing collections. Her ideas about preventive conservation first broadened out towards risk management and more recently into value management. Thoughts around prioritising work based on significance were born out of a need to spend limited resources most effectively on collections. A less tangible but very powerful result of this work was found in much improved cross-disciplinary collaboration, as the systematic approach meant that Conservation was required to proactively work and collaborate with a team of colleagues from across the organisation. Working to find common ground and a healthy portion of pragmatism have played a major role in this journey. About the speaker Dr Anna Buelow apprenticed as a bookbinder in Germany before graduating with a degree in paper conservation from the Hochschule fur Gestaltung, Kunst und Konservierung in Bern, Switzerland. She worked as a research fellow at the Canadian Conservation Institute in Ottawa and graduated from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, with an MAC in conservation research in 1999. Specializing in preventive conservation, she completed her PhD at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK, in 2002, and took up a post as Head of Preservation at The National Archives, UK in 2003. She became Deputy Head of Conservation and Scientific Research at the British Museum in 2013, and took up the role of Head of Conservation there in 2015.
