We’re building a growing hub of queer heritage resources, bringing together tools, knowledge and inspiration to support and connect. This is a work in progress, and we hope to continue expanding it over time.
Community Protest Material Preservation: Production, Storage, and Documentation
This document presents practical advice gathered from consulting with textile conservators, paintings conservators, paper conservators, object conservators, and archivists.
It provides useful insights and advice relating to the preservation of the different materials commonly used in activist objects, from banners and fabrics to painted surfaces and paper-based placards. Protest materials are often made from a mix of different materials, so caring for them might require knowledge from more than one field within preservation.
