GHHN (Greater Hudson Heritage Network) is honored to enter into a partnership with the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation for $15,000 to support the Historic Housekeeping: Preservation and Management of Historic Interiors Workshop Series.
Guided by GHHN's collection care professionals, museum staff and volunteers will learn the proper hands-on methodology of collections care by working directly with collections at two locations on Long Island. Through our train-the-trainer focus, these full-day workshops will equip attendees with the knowledge and skill sets necessary for cleaning, handling, and storing collections along with the tools to teach their volunteer base these critical skills. By improving the skill set of museum staff and encouraging and promoting a trained volunteer base, this program will enhance the history products on display for the public and aid in the long-term sustainability of Long Island's cultural heritage for future generations.
"GHHN is grateful to the RDL Gardiner Foundation for their gracious support and partnership. The
Historic
Housekeeping Workshop Series will enable museum staff to hone their curatorial skills preserving Long Island's priceless history," said Priscilla Brendler, Executive Director of GHHN.
The Historic Housekeeping Workshop Series will be held at two locations:
April 16, 2019
Sagtikos Manor Historical Society
Bay Shore, New York
or
July 15, 2019
