The students undertaking Preservation Principles in Adelaide have
been given the opportunity to undertake an exercise in Disaster Recovery
at Artlab, where the Course Coordinator
Heather Brown is the
Assistant Director of Paper in Artlab Australia. As you will see
the students had hands on experience and did enjoy the tasks immensely.
