The training Basic Collection Techniques is an introductory module on care and management of natural history collections aimed at persons that have limited experience with collection work or those who wish to update their knowledge in this field.
This training will consist of three main types of content: a block on preventive conservation, a block on documentation, digitization and labelling and an introduction to collection types including aspects of dry and wet collections with their specific requirements.
This training will provide a brief insight into the most essential topics of basic collection care and management, including aspects of preservation and preventive conservation.
