Water Management 101: Safeguarding Collections in Small and Mid-Sized Institutions

This free webinar is organized and hosted by Connecting to Collections Care and advance registration is required.

Keeping water away from collections at small and mid-sized institutions is paramount to any collection caretaker’s job, but doing that isn’t always straightforward. A little knowledge of water management in buildings can go a long way, whether your collection is held in a state-of-the-art facility or a historic house. In this webinar, we will cover how to:

  • Preempt moisture issues, large and small
  • Detect leaks and identify their potential sources
  • Understand your building’s waterproofing and water management systems
  • Speak confidently with tradespeople, waterproofing specialists, and engineers about issues and repairs
