Preservation of Sacred Artifacts: Care and Handling of Cultural
    Materials in Religious and Spiritual Institutions
The Msgr. Joseph Jessing Conference Center
Columbus, OH
June 4, 2009, 10am-4pm

This program, presented by the conservation staff of the Intermuseum
Conservation Association (ICA)
<URL:http://www.ica-artconservation.org>, helps religious and
spiritual institutions understand the basic care of the cultural
materials of which they are stewards. Each talk will address the
principles of caring for, displaying, and storing materials found in
religious collections and buildings. Preventative conservation and
information on practical ways to ensure the long-term stability of
artifacts and documents will also be discussed. The program is
tailored for staff and volunteers responsible for collections in
churches, synagogues, mosques, or other spiritual or religious
centers, but is open to all interested parties.
