Colleagues,

This is a final registration reminder for the upcoming in-person workshop:
“Bugs and Boxes: Preventative Conservation” that will be held in Kelowna,
BC on Tuesday, May 12, 2026.

The AABC is pleased to partner with the talented Conservation team from the
Okanagan Heritage Museum who will lead this 1-day hands-on workshop that
will enhance your preventative conservation skills. Participants will
complete two learning modules: pests and preventative measures, and how to
create custom boxes, 4-flap folders, and safely encapsulate items. The
workshop will also include a discussion forum where participants can share
conservation concerns and questions related to the storage and care of
archival materials in their holdings. This learning opportunity is perfect
for those working in archives, libraries, and museums with archival
materials or sensitive items that need customized storage and you want to
learn how to protect your collection. Participants will bring home
enclosure samples.
