PROGRAM BENEFITS
Private Seminars – Asset Management and Risk Assessment is Conservation
The biggest single risk to a collection is reallocation of funds and resources. Institutions must get it right! As an organisation the needs of a collection the pressures of public access and the balance of conservation, equals a huge load in this sector. One which often is expected to just magically manage. These private discussions are designed to look at whole of organisational needs.
Our director has won multiple awards for excellence in heritage conservation and business and will find the answers you need to get through another operational year stronger than before.
Private meetings with your directors, with or without, your team are available for level 2 and 3 members. These discussions are determined by you. The desired topic and agenda need to be arranged a month in advance with our director to ensure we appoint the correct specialists to join the discussion. Our director will work out an agenda and presentation to kick off discussions and professional development opportunities for your team. Discussions will run 1.5 hours with a 5min intermission. A recording of the discussion will be provided at the end.
The topic can be anything regarding your heritage needs. These discussions are totally led by your organisations needs. Endangered Heritage has an extensive network of business advisors, logistics provider, insurance brokers and other related support for your organisation given advanced notice we can ensure we have all of the sectors support you need.
Online Seminars

Discounts
We understand that with a turnover of staff and volunteers training and updating is a challenge. Endangered Heritage offers customised professional development training for museum and gallery professionals. No one can keep up to date with everything local history, local donations and exhibitions and themes loans and community demands. Let us keep up to date on the science and then we can pass it on. Membership entitles you to discounts for workshops. See our website for an up to date program.
Iconic Conservation
Endangered Heritage is actively seeking corporate sponsorship to support our sector. The Iconic conservation program allows members to nominate 3 artefacts to a register which is offered to companies to sponsor. There is no guarantee your artefact will get selected, BUT it can remain with our register while you are a member. You can switch artefact nominations at any time. The program connects a sponsor media and conservation. If selected Endangered Heritage will organise delivery of the artefact conservation of the artefact with our world class team and the return of the item.
Crisis Support
Disasters can strike any time 24/7. We get that and we care! Members will be given a direct number to contact our team any time day or night to help when something has cataclysmic has gone wrong. Our Director is on the International ICORP committee and on the Australian and New Zealand committee and is certified by CENVP as an environmental and heritage expert.
Analytical Services
In a workplace we must consider workplace health and safety! Artwork can be toxic and contain asbestos, lead paint cadmium and even radioactive issues. We offer our members analytical testing. Raising the problem is one thing, fixing the problem is another. Putting work behind glazing and recommending cleaning of corrosion like green Verdigris is also an option. In short, we keep you aware of the issues in your collection to keep you and your team safe.
Intake Fee
All members will have the intake fee for conservation with Endangered Heritage waived. Additionally, freezer treatment for textiles intake will be waived. Quoting on conservation needs for intake items will be free for all items excepting large technology items. (ie: cars train carriages).
