CARING FOR YOUR COLLECTION: On metals with Holly Jones-Amin

Storing and displaying metals – gold, silver, pewter and iron – the correct way is very important for their long-term care and preservation. With the proper care and storage, antiques can last for many more years. Join conservator Holly Jones-Amin to learn about the care and preservation of your metal objects. Examples will be provided and attendees are invited to bring along their own collection items for assessment.

Holly Jones-Amin is Senior Objects Conservator at the Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation, The University of Melbourne, who specialises in metals conservation.
