The Center seeks a motivated Photograph Conservator to run the newly

conservation techniques.

Located in Atlanta, Georgia, AACC is a regional center serving

Art Conservation Center (WACC), which provides AACC clients and
conservators with access to its full service paper department,
paintings, furniture and objects departments, and analytical
services at its Massachusetts location.

The position requires occasional travel for on-site condition

of photographic materials. The position requires self sufficiency in
project documentation and communication with clients. In addition to
