The Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA)
announces two day-long architectural records workshops, "Have You
Got the Blues? Architectural Records: Their Identification,
Management, Storage, and Treatment."  The workshops are partially
funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, The Gladys
Krieble Delmas Foundation, and the Dolfinger-McMahon Foundation. The
workshops will be co-sponsored by the site institutions.

The workshops are intended for architectural historians, architects,
as well as library, archives, and museum professionals who have
architectural records and drawings or other oversized paper-based
materials in their care or collections.

The speakers will address the problems of caring for the diverse
materials of an architectural records collection.  The workshops
will help participants identify different original media and
reproductive processes; consider options for organization,
cataloging, access, and reformatting of architectural records;
recognize storage problems and options; and discuss basic
collections care methods and remedial treatments that can be safely
accomplished in-house.
