Taonga conservation workshops
National Services has been holding Taonga Conservation workshops throughout New Zealand since 2007. They are a collaborative effort by NSTP and the local iwi.
The purpose of the two-day workshop is to assess iwi taonga, and prepare storage containers to house the taonga for future safe keeping.
Digital photography and paper conservation workshops
National Services has been holding Digital Photography & Paper Conservation workshops throughout New Zealand since 2009. They are a collaborative effort by NSTP and the local iwi, and are in response to iwi who have recognised the risks to photographs hanging in wharenui around the country.
The first day is helpful for those who wish to learn how to copy images of tupuna/whanau photographs for future archiving and safe storage. The second day concentrates on methods and techniques on how to care for works on paper to preserve those documents for future generations.
