The Session
For the last decade the London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) has been on a journey to develop a Green Policy, and build a corporate culture of sustainability, which adheres to heritage industry standards and goes further to protect the environment.
In this presentation, the LMA shares how it has achieved excellent sustainability credentials, and embedded innovative practices in the organisation, from policy to packaging. Following this, delegates will be shown how to make a clamshell archival storage box from card scraps.
