Presented by Louis M Goldich,
Consultant to Museums & Collectors

Do you know how to correctly hang a painting or install a sculpture to protect it in the event of an earthquake, or the unintentional bumbling of  kids, pets or pests (to say nothing of spouses)?  What do you need to know to prevent damage from the sun, dirt, dust & mold, hungry insects and moisture?  We all have things we treasure, a favorite watercolor from a vacation or family heirloom, which will last another generation if we just know some tips on keeping them safe from everyday damage.

Louis Goldich, for 25 years head of the Registration Department at the San Diego Museum of Art, is an independent consultant, providing collection management and documentation services to museums and private collectors.  He specializes in all registration and collection management needs, including collections care and storage, disaster mitigation, traveling exhibition coordination, domestic and international logistics and courier services.

Louis has tailored a talk for the SD ASA on how individuals can apply the same techniques and procedures used by museums to safeguard their private collections on display in their homes. His slide presentation and talk will inform you about the many risks that can threaten your favorite possessions, and you will learn how to protect your collections from them.
