[PADG:689] Re: Protecting paintings in storage

[Ann Olszewski <Ann.Olszewski@xxxxxxx>]

Dear Barbara, I recommend that you contact the ICA (Intermuseum Conservation Association, Cleveland Ohio), for advice on storage of the paintings. The ICA has a staff of experienced paintings conservators and operates an art storage facility as well. Cleveland Public Library is a member of the ICA and has always received excellent advice and conservation treatment of its artworks. You can find information about the ICA at http://www.ica-artconservation.org/, or e-mail directly to the director Albert Albano, aalbano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, or senior paintings conservator,Andrea Chevalier, achevalier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
