Workshop on preventive conservation

The Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation of
Historic and Artistic Works presents

Preventive Conservation
A hands-on study experience
Ossabaw Island, Georgia
January 7-20, 2011

This is a unique opportunity to study and apply preventive
conservation techniques in a historic house on a wilderness barrier
island off the coast of Savannah, Georgia.

Six participants will join the six leaders for this in-depth
experience at the Torrey West House on Ossabaw Island.  The island
is reachable only by chartered boat, and participants will bring
supplies and food from the mainland.

There is no registration fee.  The six selected participants will
provide their own round trip transportation to Savannah, Georgia and
food for meals.  Each participant will receive a $300 stipend toward
these expenses.  The Ossabaw Island Foundation and FAIC will provide
boat transportation to the island, hotel lodging in Savannah on the
night of Saturday, January 7, 2012 and lodging January 8-20, 2012 in
the historic "Clubhouse" maintained by the Foundation.  The group
will return to Savannah on Friday, January 20, 2012.

To apply, please send a letter outlining your interest in preventive
conservation and a resume or c.v. (be sure to include all current
contact information) by December 7 2011 to:
courses<-a t->conservation-us< . >org

Acceptance decisions will be announced by Dec. 9, 2011. Late
applications will be considered if space is still available.
