Conservators at Large: Preserving cultural material in unexpected contexts

Join us for the first talk in the Heritage Skills Association Winter Warmer Talk Series.

This series showcases local heritage professionals, shines a spotlight on Western Australian heritage, and provides a meeting opportunity for all those interested in heritage work.

As a conservator who has forged a path outside traditional museums, libraries, and galleries, Claire will discuss her views on what defines cultural material in diverse contexts, and share details of some career-defining projects.
