This was for the final trimester of her Master of Museum and Heritage Practice. The position informed on the principles, ethics and history of conservation through readings and discussion, alongside practical conservation treatments of objects in the studio’s care. Under the supervision of the Senior Objects Conservator, she oversaw a variety of projects that represent a range of materials including wood, ceramic, metal, water-logged leather, and textiles, with a primary focus on the collection of small finds from the shipwreck Daring. Lizzie would like to extend a huge ngā mihi nui to Senior Objects Conservator Susanne Rawson, Bailee Taipari, Tammy Lewis and the rest of the wider HPFS team for all of their support and guidance.
