An Occasion to Honor the Responders to the 1966 Florence Flood

The American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic
Works (AIC) and the Canadian Association for Conservation (CAC-ACCR)
will hold a joint conference in Montreal, Canada, May 13-17, 2016

Fifty years after the Arno River breached its banks, AIC and
CAC-ACCR will commemorate the remarkable response by the cultural
community to the damage inflicted on Florence's treasures by hosting
a meeting with the theme "Emergency! Preparing for Disasters and
Confronting the Unexpected in Conservation."

In recognition of the tremendous efforts of those who contributed
their time and expertise to assist in recovery efforts, AIC will
present all living North American responders, including Mud Angels,
conservators, conservation scientists, and scholars, with
Certificates of Appreciation during a Closing Ceremony on Tuesday,
May 17.  Please encourage any responders you know to contact AIC as
soon as possible.  Even if they are unable to travel to Montreal, we
would like to include them in a roll call at the Ceremony and send
them a Certificate of Appreciation.

To show our gratitude to as many responders as possible, AIC will
offer complimentary 2016 Annual Meeting registrations for all
participants in the Ceremony.  Please help us spread the word.  We
would like to be able to honor as many responders as possible.  If
you are or know of a Mud Angel, conservator, conservation scientist,
or scholar, who was involved in emergency response following the
Florence Flood, please contact Ruth Seyler at
rseyler<-at->conservation-us<.>org.  We will follow up on contact
information and handle registration for those who can attend the
meeting.  In addition, if you have images of your recovery efforts
after the Florence flood, please contact Ruth Seyler.  We would like
to show as many images during the May 17, 2016 event as time and
technology allow.

We hope that our colleagues will, once again, respond to a call on
behalf of heritage preservation.  On May 17, 2016 they will have an
opportunity to briefly share a memory and allow AIC to honor their
work.
