The Collection Care Network<\/a> has been busy! We are highlighting the connections CCN has developed with some of our allied preservation professionals. We are delighted to team with the Canadian Association for Conservation\/Association Canadienne pour la Conservation et la Restauration (CAC-ACCR) to bring you these collection care offerings.
\nThis year we thought, why not start early, even before the meeting officially starts. Our colleagues at the International Association of Museum Facilities Administrators (IAMFA) thought this was a good idea too. AIC, CAC-ACCR and IAMFA have developed a dynamic and interactive pre-meeting seminar that focuses on some of the concerns we share.
\nShare the Care: Collaborative Preservation Approaches<\/strong>, <\/em>Friday, May 13, 2016, 9:00 am \u2013 5:30pm
\nThis seminar delves into the concepts of shared risk and responsibility of allied preservation professionals. The following topics will be considered through this lens: interacting among the professional groups, reviewing institutional emergency plans, surveying the current state of environmental guidelines, considering the existing international environmental guideline standards.
\nChoosing and Implementing an Automatic Fire Suppression System for a Collecting Institution<\/em><\/strong>, Saturday, May 14, 2016, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
\nThis special half-day session is the second part of the pre-meeting session hosted by AIC, CAC-ACCR, and IAMFA.
