The Lost City Museum will be holding a free Artifact Preservation Workshop on Saturday, February 11 beginning at 9:00 a.m. This workshop is made possible by the National Endowment for the Humanities Preservation Assistance Grant for Smaller Institutions.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to learn how to properly handle and rehouse artifacts while assisting the Lost City Museum in the preservation of its archaeological collection. The workshop will be led by Dr. Nancy Odegaard, a conservator and expert on the care of archaeological objects.

Space is limited to 20 participants; please contact the Lost City Museum at (702)397-2193 or at lostcity@nevadaculture.org to sign-up for this opportunity to learn how to handle archaeological artifacts and see what the museum has in its collection. Further volunteer opportunities related to the preservation of the museum’s archaeological collections will be available after the workshop.
