Registration is now open for the ARA conference in Cardiff.  We have

conservators.  Keynote speakers include Sarah Tyacke, Hillsborough

The Conservation programme is very exciting this year with most
current issues being addressed and discussed .There are sessions on
the benefits of touch, preservation of museum archives, seal
preservation, the role of ethics in conservation, emergency
planning, practical demonstrations of the repair of photographic
prints, historical and modern sizing of paper, marbling and
decorative papers, assessing the impact of dust in the archives,
case studies and much, much more.

More information about speakers and their papers will be available

will be as lively as the programme itself.

ARA conferences are about challenging the way we think, swapping
experiences, giving us tools to use in our workplaces and meeting
old friends and new colleagues.  The conference is a real highlight
of ARA?s year so we hope to see you in Cardiff in August 2013.
