Possible next steps:
- Cooperate with school-age organizations, such as Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts, to:
- encourage preservation and conservation as public responsibilities.
- expose young people to conservation as a future professional career.
- Collaborate with museum education departments to:
- increase public awareness of the important role of preservation and
conservation.
- participate in teacher workshops through slide lectures and leading
tours of works that have been conserved.
- develop teacher resource materials that can be integrated into school
tours or class curricula.
- add a conservation aspect to works on view through extended wall labels
and brochures.
- create a focused exhibition or gallery display on the conservation
process.
- Work with local schools and/or universities to:
- increase public awareness of the need to preserve cultural resources.
- establish an internship program.
- integrate conservation into interdisciplinary studies programs, such as
art, science, and museum studies.
