continuing education opportunities

Thanks for joining us for the last workshop at Cherokee in February 2026! We hope you had an enjoyable time!

Our workshop titled To Box or Not to Box—Being Boxed In: Culturally Sensitive Archival Containers presented the conflicts and areas of common ground between conservation professionals and Pueblo communities regarding the storage of their figures. Many Pueblo peoples understand these figures as living beings, imbued with spirit. For this reason, preserving them in dark, airtight archival boxes, isolated from their environment, may not be considered an appropriate option.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Ginny Newell and other members at a workshop

The Southeast is a big place and, while there are a lot of conservators close to one another, coordinating and meeting up can be a challenge. SERCA is looking to have regular meet ups with conservators in more “local” state regions to help support the community and foster collaborations. If you are interested in being a point person for a happy hour or social event in your area, please let us know and we will work with you to reach out to the SERCA and AIC communities to put something together.

Do you have a workshop in mind that you would like to host in the Southeast?
