Call for tips--AIC Committee on Sustainable Conservation Practice

Call for tips
AIC Committee on Sustainable Conservation Practice luncheon
AIC 40th Annual Meeting
May 9, 2012

The Committee on Sustainable Conservation Practice is putting out a
call for tips to present at our lunch session Wednesday, May 9, 2012
at AIC 40th Annual Meeting. The 2 hour lunch session, "Linking the
Environment and Heritage Conservation: Presentations, Tips, and
Discussions", will include 2 presentations from environmentalists
from non-heritage conservation fields who will discuss materials and
their effect on the environment, followed by a 1 hour tips session
and a 20 minute panel discussion.

Conservators will have 10 minutes each to present tips on how they
are working in a more sustainable fashion. We encourage discussions
concerning: materials for treatment and storage regarding their
degradation and the environmental ramifications; materials no longer
in use due to their environmental impact, and the materials that
replace them; treatments designed for new environmental parameters;
reduction and reuse of materials considered for long term storage;
lighting, including new approaches; environmental control; new
approaches to loans, including travel, packing and transportation;
and cost savings from sustainable practices.

Tips will be followed by a discussion session led by a panel of
environmental specialists and cultural heritage conservators who
have focused on related topics.

To present a 10 minute tip, please submit a proposal to CSCP by
December 20, 2011 to sustainability<-a t->conservation-us< . >org
