On Friday, January 11 at 3 pm, the staff of the Conservation Center
for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) will be pleased to offer tours of our
lab space to attendees at the ALA Mid-Winter Meeting.
We are located at 264 S.
23rd Street (23rd between
Locust and Spruce), which is only a short taxi ride from the Convention Center.
We can also be reached via SEPTA, Philadelphia’s
mass transit system.
CCAHA is a non-profit regional conservation laboratory serving other
non-profit cultural, education and research institutions, as well as private
individuals and organizations throughout the United States. Founded in
1977, CCAHA specializes in the treatment of works of art and historic artifacts
on paper, such as prints, maps, posters, historic wallpaper, photographs, rare
books, scrapbooks, and manuscripts, as well as parchment and papyrus.
CCAHA also offers on-site consultation services, educational programs, and
seminars, emergency assistance, and internships and fellowships.
If you are able to visit us for a tour please RSVP Kelly Ferguson, at kferguson@xxxxxxxxx or to me at lhortzstanton@xxxxxxxxx. Kelly
and I can also be reached via phone at 215-545-0613 and would be happy to
