AIC web site

Visit the new American Institute for Conservation of Historic and
Artistic Works (AIC) web site at

    <URL:http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/aic/>

Everyone with an interest in the care of cultural property--from
families interested in the care of heirlooms to conservators, museum
professionals, and members of AIC--is encouraged to sign on, learn
about AIC, and explore the world of conservation.  For the general
public and professionals in related fields, the site provides
guidelines for caring for family heirlooms and a wide variety of
objects as well as information on how to select a conservator and
use the free FAIC referral service.  Conservation professionals and
AIC members will find useful information on subjects such as
specialty groups, AIC publications, membership applications, and the
annual meeting.

There are also features on special programs, outreach materials, and
FAIC grants.  The site is linked to other related organizations such
as the National Institute for the Conservation of Cultural Property
(NIC), the American Association of Museums (AAM), and the National
Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

The AIC web site is one of many hosted by Stanford University
Libraries in Conservation OnLine (CoOL), a site devoted to resources
for conservation professionals.
