Dear Colleagues,

 

PAV application workshop - 2 - 4.15pm, Friday 29th June 2007, Wandsworth Museum, The Courthouse, 11 Garratt Lane, London SW18 4AQ
 
Places are still available at MLA London’s application advice workshop for our fully funded Preservation Audit Visit programme. Come along to learn more about what a conservation consultant’s Preservation Audit Visit and report can do to help you manage the care of your collection and identify priorities
 

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.

 
At our afternoon’s workshop you will learn:

·         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
