Meet the Conservator

SENIOR OBJECTS CONSERVATOR & OWNER

Robin Croskery Howard, MA

Robin is an objects conservator with over ten years of experience. Prior to opening Happy Narwhal, she worked for the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Seminole Indian Museum and the North Carolina Museum of History. She has extensive knowledge of the care of American historical and southeastern Native American artifacts. She is the author of the chapter “Mixed Media and Composite Objects” from Basic Condition Reporting: A Handbook Fifth Edition, and has lectured extensively on the creation and use of custom housing as a part of a holistic look at conservation.

Robin’s expertise and commitment to the highest standards of conservation is nothing short of excellent. She demonstrates meticulous attention to detail, is transparent with her work, and values and respects the integrity and significance of each object in her care.
