Subject: Subsidized preservation assessment
2nd Annual ICA Subsidized Survey The Intermuseum Conservation Association (ICA) is pleased to announce its second annual "Subsidized Survey Program." The purpose of the program is to help a cultural institution identify its preservation needs. The information gained through the assessment can help an institution raise funds or apply for grants to address those preservation needs. For a description of the 2007 recipients, see ICA News Online <URL:http://archive.constantcontact.com/ fs026/1101514174472/archive/1101910660042.html#article6> **** Moderator's comments: The above URL has been wrapped for email. There should be no newline. The ICA will offer a collection survey focusing on a pre-selected group of artifacts within an institution. An ICA conservator will visit the institution to examine the objects on-site for up to two days, and written condition reports and treatment recommendations will be provided. The institution will be asked to contribute only the travel costs associated with the on-site visit(s). Any non-profit cultural institution that can demonstrate a commitment to collections care is eligible to apply for this survey. The application form can be found at <URL:http://www.ica-artconservation.org/education/Application.pdf> Applications can be mailed, e-mailed, or faxed and are due October 31, 2008. Preference will be given to applicants in Ohio and its adjoining states. Contact Field Services Officer Nicole Hayes at nhayes<-a t->ica-artconservation< . >org or 216-658-8700 with any questions.
