Middle East Photograph Preservation Initiative (MEPPI)

The Getty Conservation Institute has joined with the Arab Image
Foundation, the Art Conservation Department of the University of
Delaware and the Photograph Conservation Department of The
Metropolitan Museum of Art to form the Middle East Photograph
Preservation Initiative (MEPPI).  MEPPI is a strategic initiative
designed to gather information, raise awareness, and build capacity
in the preservation of photograph collections throughout the Middle
East--here defined as the countries of the eastern Mediterranean,
North Africa, and the Gulf.  The third in a series of courses will
begin with a workshop that will take place in Amman, Jordan from
20-28 January, 2014. The deadline for application is 19 August,
2013.  Details about the course and the application process can be
