The Big Stuff large technology conservation community are starting a series of webinars. They will run two per year with the first one kicking off on Monday 12 April (Central European Time) at 13:00. The webinar is open to anyone.

These webinars are intended to get the community talking. There will be a short talk to introduce the topic and get things started, and then the “floor” will be open. To start this first seminar Eva Wentland, an emerging Big Stuff conservator, will introduce the controversial topic of coatings for industrial heritage, with an emphasis on heritage exposed outdoors. The basis for this session is the aim to preserve historic coatings as primary sources of information and connection, either visibly by using transparent coatings or invisibly by overcoating with pigmented systems, and with corrosion prevention at the same time.
