Care of Collections Group & Modern Materials Network: Object Couriering and Collections Care in the Virtual Age

A one day conference on the topic of object couriering and collections care in the virtual age

Icon's Modern Materials Network and Care of Collections Group are pleased to be hosting a one-day online conference on the topic of object couriering and collections care in the virtual age.


In our recent joint panel on virtual couriering, we posed the question of how we might utilise technology to save valuable funds and reduce an institution’s carbon footprint, all while maintaining the same level of collection care as in-person couriers.


In recognition of the wide-ranging answers to this question, we are seeking abstract submissions from individuals and organisations to further develop this conversation and contribute to the creation of overarching standards in virtual conservation.
