S12E07: Redevelopments

Smart, interesting, accessible, and fun! And great for a wider audience than just museum conservators--I think teachers, professors, writers, historians--anyone interested in issues of history, conservation, and how to effectively communicate the lessons of the past would enjoy these excellent conversations.

Not just for conservators! Recommended.

Wow- I’m so happy I found this podcast. As an architectural conservator, my job is even more obscure than being an objects conservator. There is so much cross over between the fields that the information presented on this podcast is very relevant to me. If you want to have an architectural conservator on your show I’d be honored to speak with you! I can tell you all about mortars, paint analysis, stone consolidation...and other insanely specific topics! Keep up the good work!

I love this!

S06E03: The One with the Arduino

We take a look at some of the many ways in which conservators earn money on the side (and the reasons we might do so): Kloe talks about her bellydancing, Jenny shares her experiences of temping and gig economy freelancing, and Christina shares some career wisdom.

S02E06: Replicas, Surrogates, and Digitisation

We tackle the tricky topic of funding: in museums in general and for conservators in particular. From grants and charities to crowdfunding and adopt-an-object schemes we’ll try to make sense of the many ways we can look for or raise money. Our agony aunt Jane answers some questions about accreditation, and we talk about professional bodies, influencing coworkers, and contemporary art headaches in the comments section. 00:01:06 News in brief 00:01:41 Our experiences of applying for money 00:07:33 Thinking about how to look for funding in museums 00:12:34 How do we demonstrate impact of heritage? 00:14:59 Funding landscape for museums 00:27:20 Conservation funding pots 00:29:38 Funding for conservators 00:32:04 Pet peeves 00:36:07 Individual giving as the future of funding 00:40:33 What are funding bodies after? 00:46:40 What comes next: the work that comes with a grant 00:50:52 Conservators as fundraisers 00:57:31 Adopt a Book and Adopt a Book schemes 01:02:09 Crowdfunding 01:12:42 Dear Jane 01:17:07 Kloe’s contemporary art dilemma 01:24:59 Questions, comments, corrections: NKF-DK answers and keeping HR out of mansplaining  Show Notes: – HLF publishes consultation response: https://icon.org.uk/news/hlf-publishes-initial-consultation-results  – Funding cuts timeline: https://www.museumsassociation.org/campaigns/museum-funding/19122012-cuts-timeline – Museums and funding in the UK 2018: https://www.museumsassociation.org/campaigns/museum-funding/museums-in-the-uk – Charity Commission: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/charity-commission – The Nine Fundraising Nos: https://www.managementcentre.co.uk/nine-fundraising-nos/ – C2C Webinar on Fundraising for Collections Care: https://www.connectingtocollections.org/fundraising-for-collections-care/ – Adopt an Object: https://www.adoptanobject.co.uk/ – Adopt a Book: http://support.bl.uk/Page/Adopt-a-book/ – Art Fund’s Art Happens platform: https://www.artfund.org/get-involved/art-happens – Llandudno Blodwen appeal example: http://www.culture24.org.uk/history-and-heritage/archaeology/art503347-skeleton-of-arthritis-suffering-neolithic-woman-at-centre-of-archaeological-crowdfunding-bid – Manchester suffragette banner funding success: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/bring-manchesters-suffragette-banner-home – Save The Sunbathers funding success: https://historicengland.org.uk/get-involved/protect/save-the-sunbathers/ Heritage and Conservation Funding Sources (UK): – Heritage Lottery Fund: https://www.hlf.org.uk/looking-funding – Arts Council England (ACE) funding: https://www.artscouncil.org.uk/funding – Church Care sources of funding: http://www.churchcare.co.uk/churches/funding-and-grants/other-sources-funding – Heritage Funding Directory: https://www.heritagefundingdirectoryuk.org/ or http://www.theheritagealliance.org.uk/fundingdirectory/main/search.php Funding for Conservators (UK): – ICON’s list of training and CPD grants: https://icon.org.uk/what-is-conservation/careers-training/career-grants – Churches Conservation Foundation emerging professionals travel grant: http://www.churchesconservation.org/travel-award/ – Jonathan Ruffer Curatorial Grants: https://www.artfund.org/supporting-museums/jonathan-ruffer-curatorial-grants – Anna Plowden Trust programmes: https://www.annaplowdentrust.org.uk/applying-us – The Clothworkers’ Foundation: https://foundation.clothworkers.co.uk/ – Zibby Garbett Travel Fellowship: http://www.zibbygarnett.org/grants/ Other Resources: – Introduction to Fundraising: https://www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk/guidance/introduction-to-fundraising/ – Fundraising Disciplines: https://www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk/guidance/fundraising-disciplines/ – Fundraising Essentials Legislation: https://www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk/guidance/fundraising-essentials-legislation/ – AIM Successful Funding at Museums Guide: https://www.aim-museums.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Successful-Fundraising-at-Museums-2017.pdf – UK Giving Report 2018: https://www.cafonline.org/about-us/publications/2018-publications/uk-giving-report-2018 – Fundraising Regulator: https://www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk/ – Funding Central: https://www.fundingcentral.org.uk/ – GuideStar charity search engine: https://www.guidestar.org – Trust Funding: http://www.trustfunding.org.uk – Association of Charitable Foundations: https://www.acf.org.uk/ – C2C Webinar on Funding for Collections Care: https://www.connectingtocollections.org/funding-collections-care/ – Overview of crowdfunding platforms 2018: https://www.techworld.com/picture-gallery/startups/top-crowdfunding-websites-3639335/ – C2C Webinar on Crowdfunding for Museums: https://www.connectingtocollections.org/want-to-run-a-kickstarter-campaign/ Support us on Patreon!
