Mastery: proficient (Level 3)(based on Post-Baccalaureate Certificate)

  • Complex multi-material artifact restoration — design and execute full treatment plans for deteriorated objects combining metal, organic, and textile components, working autonomously.
  • Treatment method evaluation — apply critical thinking and chemistry knowledge to select the safest, most reversible repair approach from competing conservation options.
  • Non-routine cleaning challenges — develop customized cleaning protocols for fragile or unique objects where standard methods present unacceptable risk.
  • Comprehensive exhibition installation — oversee the safe arrangement and display of large artifact ensembles, identifying and correcting structural, lighting, and security problems.
  • Collections care policy development — draft and implement preservation procedures covering environmental standards, integrated pest management, and disaster preparedness.
  • Advanced photographic and imaging analysis — employ reflectance imaging, UV, and infrared photography to reveal hidden condition issues and guide treatment decisions.
  • Grant and project documentation — produce detailed technical reports and illustrated treatment dossiers meeting professional and funder standards.
  • Database system administration — configure collection-management database fields, controlled vocabularies, and access permissions to improve institutional records integrity.
  • Mentor and instruct junior staff — guide emerging technicians through hands-on treatment exercises, translating complex conservation science into accessible practice.
