Conserving Intangibility: Victoria Stevens

Michael Nightingale Memorial Annual Lecture - Templeman Library

Victoria Stevens has worked in heritage collections for over 25 years. She is subject lead for books and library materials at West Dean College of arts design crafts and conservation.

This presentation will identify where significance in heritage lies and demonstrate the opportunities for this to be explored and maintained through conservation and preservation interventions. Victoria will use a series of case studies to illustrate the way that the changes an object has undergone in production, use or subsequent storage may impact the way heritage objects are interpreted and understood, and the added value and holistic view this can provide.

Many thanks to the Brook Rural Museum for contributing to the Nightingale Lecture wine reception
