In the period under review, this review has included assessing 3nd managing the risks due to coronavirus. ensuring business continuity and provision of services to Members, and safety of staff members. Objects, Objectives and Principal activities The objects of the CIO are to advance education for the public benefit, in particular through the preservation and maintenance of educational and historic materials and documents. These objects are achieved primarily by providing a broad range of conservation and preservation services for Members of OCC who pay for these services on the basis of an annual subscription.
Oxford Conservation Consortium Trustees, Report Page 3 Achievements and Performance In the period under review OCC continued to provide collection care expertise and advice to Members. This included preservation activities such as environmental monitoring and control, rehousing collections, providing digital surrogates of fragile and heavily consulted material, and giving advice on exhibition loans, pest monitoring, and the interpretation of 5tandard5 relating to heritage collections. Programmes of ongoing remedial conservation treatment, Dn single and multiple items, were agreed between curators and the Head Conservator. Over the year, OCC then worked to treat and 5tabilise collection materials so they could be consulted, exhibited, photographed for users, and preserved for the future. We continued to support Members in their collection care activities, including raising the profile of heritage conservation and historic librarv and archive collettions through publications, blogposts, visits. fundraising activities, conference papers and webinar talks. We h05ted studio tours for our Members, conservation students. and members of the public, and organized training and information sessions for our Members. In 2020121, OCC began to Supply conservation and preservation services to the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies IOCISI, via an external contract. OCIS is an Oxford-based centre for the advanced study of Islam and Muslim societies and a registered educational charity. OCIS has an important collection of manuscripts and archival materials requiring conservation treatment, advice, and care. OCC maintsins the Chantry Library and its collertion of technical conservation literature. The Library is normally open for consultation by anyone with an interest in conservation, but this access was severely disrupted due to Covid-19. The Librèry was closed to readers in March 2020. and the Librarian continued to work part-time from home on cataloguing. During closure due to lockdown, the Head of Conservation responded to a small number of inquiries and operated the scan and send service. In Feb 2021. the Librarian's contratt was not renewed, and from then we outsourced cataloguing to the Assistant Librarian of one of the OCC members. The outside inquires decreased but the collection continued to be used by the OCC conservation team in their daily studio work and during lockdown for research. The Library received small donations of books from deceased and retired conservators, other small professional conservation libraries which had closed, and individuals who left the conservation field. Our major achievements for 20121 were to have continued to provide a full range of services to our members,. to have supported our staff as they returned to full-time work on site,. to have supported our members with their queries about Covid-19, quarantining material, and reader requests,. and to have ensured business continuity during a challenging time.
