Education

The Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) provides lectures, seminars, and workshops for both the professional audience and the general public. CCAHA educational programs are developed primarily for professional staff, such as curators, collections managers, archivists, librarians, or others who have primary responsibility for the care and handling of artifacts. CCAHA can develop specialized workshops tailored to the needs of professional staff, private collectors, and interested groups.

CCAHA premiered its new online audiovisual media preservation video series on October 27, 2009, UNESCO’s World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. Based on CCAHA’s national professional development program, A Race Against Time: Preserving Our Audiovisual Media, this video series provides an ongoing web-based preservation resource to those who are responsible for heritage audiovisual collections but were unable to attend the live conferences.
