This free workshop explores methods of applying archival preservation in a home or office setting.
Documents, photographs, clippings, works of art, diaries, and trinkets are the physical evidence that tell our stories. Knowing how to preserve them is crucial to ensuring the longevity of these pieces of cultural history.
Learn about current practices for storing archival materials, how to detect processes of deterioration, and methods of intervention in this free workshop with preservation specialist Kyla Ubbink!

Her private practice, Ubbink Book & Paper Conservation, provides professional conservation, restoration and preservation consultation services to institutions, galleries, antiquities dealers, collectors, researchers and genealogists.
Ubbink’s work has been integral to the collections of the Canadian War Museum, Canadian Museum of Nature, Parks Canada, Bank of Canada Archives, Global Affairs, Crown and Indigenous Affairs, and numerous university, archive, rare book, and art gallery collections. Mrs. Ubbink was a part time professor of Cultural Preservation for Algonquin College’s Archives and Records Management Program from 2007 through 2019.
