Conservation Basics: Would You Like a Tums?!
September 9, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Acid-Base chemistry is fundamental to understanding archaeological conservation, both in terms of why some things deteriorate while others are preserved while buried in the ground and in terms of why conservators choose the materials and treatments that they do. Join museum conservator Michelle Crepeau as she explores how conservators interpret, react to and manipulate acid-base chemistry to their advantage. The program is part of the museum’s Maritime Heritage Series, informal lectures held in the museum auditorium and are simulcast on the museum’s Facebook page and Zoom. Registration is not required for the in-person program.
