If you’re interested in conservation then you are part of a very special breed of people. \u00a0Part scientist, part artist, part project manager: conservators are the quintessential multi-tasker! \u00a0So what does it take to be a lab-coat wearing, scalpel wielding heritage warrior and what do you have to go through to get there? \u00a0We hope you’ll find some answers in our student-led blog.<\/p>\n

We hope to update at least every other week and we’re open to comments and suggestions. There are many types of categories to browse: from internship experiences to volunteering to conferences, alumni updates and interesting objects and treatments.\u00a0 A little something for everyone. We will also provide short profiles of our posters and general conservation-related information and links from around the world.<\/p>\n

Let us know how we are doing and please feel free to contact us if you want to link to us.<\/p>\n
