Sometimes We’re a Bit Shy to Share Our Information
Openly & Widely

Socially

Dr. Anne-Imelda Radice:
“Caring for objects must be made an intrinsic component of the entire collecting ethos.”

Cultural Heritage is Getting More Complex So We Need
to Start Now!

Let’s Make International Cultural Heritage Conventions Where all
Associations Meet at Once

We Need Big Help With Documentation Issues!

What if Conservation Documentation was as Easy and Integrated as Instagram?

Help us to engage deeply with the right audiences, and create new communities that
are more than fans of our museums on Facebook
