Professional Development Workshops
Each year the Conservation Center offers a variety of workshops in conservation technology and collections care, which are open to conservators, artists, art historians, archivists, museum professionals, science professionals, and students. The full-day workshops range from one to five days in length. Classroom lectures are combined with hands-on laboratory practice to familiarize participants with current methodologies.
Admission to the Continuing Education Program
Space is limited and to ensure a spot in the workshop early application is recommended. Late applications will be accepted if space allows. Applicants are requested to submit statements on the applicability of their selected course(s) to their work, and brief resumés listing their relevant education and employment backgrounds. This allows workshop instructors to shape the seminars according to participants' needs.
Financial Aid
Partial financial assistance is occassionally available for qualified applicants who would otherwise be unable to participate. Applicants submit written statements of financial need, and, where appropriate, letters from their organizations endorsing their requests.
Travel and Housing
Participants are responsible for their own travel, meals, and housing arrangements.
