cultural heritage: Building Safety Programs for Community and Museum Collections

We have resumed a free, virtual series on the subject of building health and safety programs related to cultural heritage: Building Safety Programs for Community and Museum Collections. The original six sessions were held in 2025 and there was a May 2026 session as well. A link to those recordings can be found below. 

This series is again being coordinated by The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum and The Johns Hopkins Education and Research Center for Occupational Safety and Health. And will present case studies of those connecting cultural heritage care with Occupational and Environmental Health and Safety practices and/or partners in order to mitigate chemical and physical hazards.

The next 2026 session is scheduled for September 16, 2026 at 10:30am EST: Assessing Hazardous Heritage, our approach from risk to safer futures. Presented by Guusje Harteveld (Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands) and Daniëlle Mark (Rijksmuseum). 

The format is a free, virtual series of presentations, though registration is required. Just scroll down to the 'Registration' and '2026 Sessions' sections. Recorded presentations are available there as well and will also be archived on the JHU Education and Research Center for OSH YouTube channel.
