The 15th Annual Heritage Conservation Symposium, Keeping Heritage Real: Authenticity in Conservation Practice, will take place digitally due to the ongoing need for socially-distanced practices as suggested by public health officials. We welcome all students, scholars, professionals, and heritage enthusiasts to join us for four lunch hour sessions starting April 15th from 12:00-1:30pm EDT, with the following sessions on April 22, 29, and May 6.
Due to the limited capability for travel and gathering during the pandemic, the Herb Stovel Memorial Lecture will be postponed until a time when we can all get together safely.
Your registration will include a single secure link to a recurring Zoom meeting, which will be used for all four sessions. Please save the link in your records for ongoing access to the symposium!
*Please note that the sessions will not be recorded.
