Cake and I Scream: Historic Collections and their Hazards Webinar featuring Laura Nemmers

Preserving objects is an adventure faced by museum professionals and collectors of family heirlooms all over the world. Keeping your old family collections unseen in boxes stored in the attic may seem like a good way to preserve them, but some objects over time can become inherently dangerous to themselves, other objects, or to the humans that care for them. Sometimes the more we collect, the more damage we can do. Join the Historic Capitol Museum on Zoom as we help to unravel the mess with collections management and registration consultant Laura Nemmers. Learn more about why collections can be a Pandora’s Box of problems and how preservation and proper care can ensure your historic objects are part of history’s future.

Laura Nemmers serves as a collection management and registration consultant providing collections care services to museums, historical societies, archives, libraries, historic homes, private collectors, galleries, businesses, and non-profits in the United States and internationally. She has almost twenty years of experience working in cultural institutions and private practice.
