The Textile Conservation Studio (TCS) based at the People’s History Museum in Manchester, United Kingdom has been a centre for the conservation of banners since 1990. A survey undertaken to analyze the effectiveness of the public’s access to the TCS through a panoramic viewing window prompted debate amongst the museum’s exhibition and conservation teams. In response, a film project was initiated to demonstrate some of the skills and time involved when conserving a banner. This paper will report the collaborative efforts of completing the film project. Specifically, this article presents the outcomes of filming the conservation of the Amalgamated Stevedores Labour Protection League banner ca. 1918; a two-sided, oil painted silk banner designed by George Tutill. This case study introduces the overall aims and objectives of the exhibition manager as well as the challenges faced by the textile conservator in presenting and ensuring that appropriate footage was captured for public understanding. Further outcomes include the relationship between the film producer and the textile conservator and their collaboration during filming. Trust and flexibility involving all parties was essential in order to make the project work and to allow for a successful learning process for all involved.
