In this episode I am joined by Lorraine Finch, Director andFounder of LFCP where they are accelerating climate and environmental action in cultural heritage through research, knowledge sharing and resource creation and training. LFCP provides remote and onsite consultation, training opportunities and mentoring to museums, libraries and archives nationally and internationally to help them work sustainably and to assist them in meeting their sustainability goals. Lorraine is an accredited conservator specialising in theconservation and preservation of archives, focusing on photographs, film and sound. We talk about how Lorraine got into the conservation worldand how this led to her caring for paper based documents which later expanded into photographs. Lorraine shares some of the projects and artifacts she has worked on which is not only broad ranging but incredible in terms of the significance and age of some of the pieces she has handled and restored. Lorraine shares information on training and routes into theindustry and how climate change is impacting the health and wellbeing of collections and heritage assets. We discuss the usual challenges, common themes andmisconceptions working in the heritage sector which includes a myth that you can’t wash paper along with top tips when working with an older property. It will be an interesting listen for anyone embarking on aproject and is looking for some guidance and anyone generally interested in older properties.
