[PADG:1899] FW: Agenda for the Curators & Conservators Discussion Group, Phil adelphia

["Paulson, Barbara" <BPaulson@xxxxxxx>]

For those of you who might not be familiar with the Curators & Conservators
Discussion Group, it is a unit 
within the Rare Books & Manuscripts Section (RBMS) of  ALA.

The Discussion Group focuses on conservation decision-making issues 
as they apply to archival and special collections materials. 
Discussions often include actual case studies, updates from professional
conservators' 
meetings and regional conservation labs, and information-sharing with 
colleagues.

Anyone interested in conservation treatment issues within the context 
of an overall library/repository preservation program will be 
interested in this Discussion Group.

C&CDG notes of past meetings can be viewed on the ALA Rare Books & 
Manuscripts Section homepage:
