Tegan Anthes Consulting

Tegan Anthes
Profile

I am a professional conservator with over 25 years expertise in adapting, collaborating and applying conservation principles within the smallest of budgets. I have extensive experience in working with the small to large museum sector in preventive conservation consulting including Preservation Needs Assessments, collection surveys, collection relocations, storage design, exhibition planning and installation, environmental monitoring, risk assessments, disaster planning and recovery. I thoroughly enjoy working with the staff and volunteers to establish parameters and recommendations that they can achieve.

I have also developed and trained many volunteers and museum professionals in preventive conservation, photographic collection care and disaster planning and recovery, amongst other workshops and seminars. I strongly believe and value in empowering the community to preserve and care for our collective heritage, and look for opportunities to assist through training and knowledge sharing.
