The title of this session comes from ‘Waking Up’ Collections: A Post-Lockdown Guide published by the Institute of Conservation (ICON) in May 2020. This online workshop will be led by Anita Hollinshead, Regional Collections Adviser for MDEM, and will explore the potential issues that may have arisen within collections that have been locked down – what to look for and the best actions to take. The session will include opportunities for delegates to ask questions and to share their own experiences.
