Subject: Conservator sought for plaster casts
**** Moderator's comments: Please respond directly to the author. We have a significant historic and valuable collection of antique plaster casts, which are used for training and drawing instruction purposes by the students of the PA Academy of Fine Arts. They are in need of an overall survey and condition assessment, conservation treatment (cleaning, repair of minor and significant structural damage, replacement of missing parts, aesthetic repair) and to establish an ongoing maintenance plan. I am interested in finding out from museums and other organizations who have a collection similar to ours, the names of objects conservators specializing in plaster, whom they have hired to do the conservation work.
