Synopsis:

Be it your most cherished family jewellery, photographs or the wedding trousseau that has been passed down over many generations, most objects will eventually deteriorate over time. These heirlooms, or rather any object that is important to us, require proper handling and care to endure the effects of time.

Join the conservators from the Heritage Conservation Centre as they share their knowledge on how to care for your treasured family heirloom. This includes ways to determine the condition of the item and the factors that can cause deterioration, as well as preventive measures such as storage and handling techniques that can help to prolong the lifespan of your heirloom.
