Dear Colleagues,
MLA London's
2007-08 Preservation Audit Visit (PAV) programme draws on our four years'
experience of funding specialist consultant conservators to give on-site
guidance to collection managers, to share good practice advice and to help
identify and prioritise for action any physical threats or ways of
working that might be putting collections at risk. MLA London selects,
commissions and briefs the consultants and brokers the relationship between
consultant and museum, library or archive.
Each member of the
consultancy team has a high level of specialist expertise in one of the
following areas:
·
archive materials
·
books and other library materials
·
photographic collections
·
fine art/museum objects
·
moving image, including film, video and digital
All the consultants
have extensive experience both of working with collections of national
significance and of acting as advisors to small organisations with low budgets.
·
How to make your application case
for a PAV
·
How a PAV works – what you
have to do and what the consultant will do
·
What a PAV will cover – and
what it won’t
·
How to use a PAV to prioritise targets
in your collection preservation plan and lever in funding for collection care.
There will be plenty of scope for
questions and discussion and case study presentations from organisations that
have benefited from MLA London funded PAVs
