BC HERN hands-on workshops provide training and guidance on emergency response and collections salvage (mixed and archival materials).

These in-person intensive 2-day workshops are for keepers of cultural heritage who have little to no training in emergency response related to collections as well as for those who wish to build on existing experience and knowledge.

Instruction and practice on key salvage techniques will build the confidence needed to help in emergency situations. The workshop will include hands-on salvage of objects impacted by water and fire.
