Caring for Heritage Collections During the COVID-19 Pandemic (v2)

In April, the Canadian Conservation Institute published Caring for Heritage Collections During the COVID-19 Pandemic, a compilation of information and recommendations to help those who are responsible for ensuring that collections and heritage materials remain safe. They have now published version 2 of the resource, which includes further guidance on reopening heritage institutions, including air filtration levels for ventilation systems in building spaces and how to deal with historic surfaces and heritage interiors. Greater detail is also provided on the persistence of the virus on surfaces.
