Online Courses

Our first mini-course, How to Donate Artifacts to Museums, has launched!

Did you know that most potential artifact donors are turned away? There are many reasons why this happens, but it’s still not fun to be the one saying “no thank you”. I want to help you be successful, so this mini-course shares behind-the-scenes secrets & tips that will help you succeed.

This course helps you:

  • understand the work that goes into artifact care and management

  • craft a comprehensive donation proposal

  • evaluate your collection and determine whether a particular organization is a good fit for your “stuff”.

  • understand the legal ramifications involved with the donation process.

  • find additional resources to help as needed.

    Visit the course page for a FREE PREVIEW and to enroll today!

Hangerbee

Did you know we make stuff, too? Hangerbee™ has been making clothing preservation easy since 2014. Our signature padded hangers are hand-assembled to make sure they are perfectly padded for preservation, storage, and display.

Our products are preferred by museums, textile conservators, and boutiques around the world. All Hangerbee products are heirloom safe, so you can be confident knowing that your clothing will be properly preserved for many years to come. We offer hangers in eight sizes and a variety of colors, as well as Padded Hanger Kits, garment bags, preservation supplies, and more.

Because if a garment is important to you, it’s important to us.

 

Other Services

While our current focus is on education (and Hangerbee!), we also provide occasional exhibit content development and collections consultation including:
