While it seems straightforward, there are often so many unwritten rules about art and artifact handling. One of the biggest: gloves or no gloves-and if so, which gloves to use? This webinar walks you through the pros and cons of the most widely used types of gloves, the newest research on their environmental impact, and the types of objects that can be handled with each. This program is great for emerging professionals, but even if you have years of experience in the field, you may still have questions. CCAHA Preservation Specialist, Katie Lowe will give you the tools to feel much more confident in deciding the best choice for hand and artifact protection in any situation.
