Wednesday, November 5, 1997

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

Audience

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

Subject

The speakers will address the problems of caring for the diverse
materials of an architectural records collection.  The workshop 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.
