The Preparator's Handbook is an invaluable resource for emerging museum professionals or anyone working in galleries and collections with little-to-no previous preparatory experience or training. It explores, explains, and demonstrates object preparation and installation techniques.
As a faculty member and the program coordinator for Museum Studies at Syracuse University, Andrew Saluti engages in consistent collaboration with the diverse community voices and cultural heritage collecting institutions that opulate both academic and professional sectors of the Central New York region. Together with his colleagues, faculty, and students Saluti considers equity, inclusivity, and accessibility core and vital aspects to museum practice and pedagogy. This commitment is reflected in the broad scope of teaching, mentoring, curricular design and professional practice that he facilitates, as well as through an ever-expanding network of emerging and established museum professionals from around the globe. Before stepping into the role of Program Coordinator for Museum Studies at Syracuse University, Saluti was the chief curator of exhibitions, programs and education for the Special Collections Research Center at Syracuse University Libraries and the assistant director of the Syracuse University Art Galleries and Collections. He continues to be an active member of numerous museum boards and advisory committees. Saluti's dedication to and experience with museum governance and leadership, in concert with almost 20 years of professional practice in both archival and object-based collecting institutions, informs ongoing research and pedagogy that comprises both curatorship and collections, with specific interest and focus on the practical installation and design, as well as the role of institutional responsibility, stewardship, and sustainability of academic collection building.
