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, business advisors and even marketing people all with specialist art knowledge. Given advance notice we can ensure we have all the sectors support you need to make this asset work as hard as your other investments do.

PLUS MORE!
Discounts on Disaster Planning and Conservation Needs Assessments
Endangered Heritage has over 30 years combined experience in assessing collections to an international level and for our own national collections. A conservator can independently organise condition reports, disaster plan and kits, plus all the necessary documentation to ensure you are across your asset. Usually, this planning augments other in-house documentation and assists building managers and your insurance broker to reduce your insurance policy costs.
Iconic Conservation
Endangered Heritage is actively seeking corporate sponsorship to support our sector. Around our country, art and museum collections everywhere have ICONIC works in need of care. The Iconic Conservation program allows companies to align with some of the best our collections have to offer. From around the country collection custodians can nominate artefacts requiring treatment, conservation services or material support for their collection. By sponsoring work of your choice, not only will your brand will go on their icon but you will receive a written report and marketing material of the community project you supported.
Inventory: Do you know what you have???
Works walk. Through relocations, staff, public access and after-hours access, works do walk straight out the door and no one knows or makes a claim. Often it is near impossible to improve you owned what you owned. Without an illustrated inventory you have an unrecorded asset with no security from theft, fire, flood or any insurance claim.
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.
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.
