Be part of the conversation on “Treatment 2017: Innovation in Conservation and Collection Care” in Chicago during AIC’s 45th Annual Meeting, from May 28 through June 1, 2017.
Whether item- or collection-level, preventive or interventive, treatment remains central to preserving cultural heritage collections. The design and implementation of an ethical and sound conservation treatment, even the ultimate decision of no treatment at all, begin before its commencement and the consequences continue well beyond its completion.
We are soliciting papers that explore various facets of conservation treatments and collection care programs intended to prolong the lifetime of cultural property. Topics may include, but are not limited to, a reconsideration of historic procedures no longer in practice, cutting edge technologies employed in treatments, effective preventive conservation or collection care steps that reduce the necessity or extent of interventive treatments, the incorporation of sustainability into conservation treatments, or innovations in treatment design, execution, and documentation.
