I've always loved history and believe that objects hold our stories, our culture and provides connections. Being a conservator allows me to combine my passion for history, and the objects while connecting with the communities, the people and the stories to ultimately amplify the conservation of our cultural heritage.
“
My conservation career has included working across the full GLAM sector from large National institutions to small regional organisations. I am passionate about assisting organisations with all aspects of collection care and disaster planning, response and recovery.
I know budgets are small and expectations are high. I can offer solutions for every situation. I am innovative and creative and love the challenge of working within tight timeframes and limited finances.

Tegan Anthes
I am a professional conservator with over 27 years experience in the preservation of Australia’s collections. I believe in connecting with people and sharing my knowledge about collection care.
I enjoy the challenge and diversity that each of the GLAM sector brings, including the range of resources and collections across the organisations. I am always looking to learn and discover new preservation strategies and implement the best options for my clients.
