Intermuseum Conservation Association (ICA) is pleased to announce its third
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.<O></O></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

within an institution. An <ST1><ST1><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">ICA</ST1></ST1></st1:place></st1:City>
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 on-site visit(s). Any non-profit cultural institution that can
demonstrate a commitment to collections care is eligible to apply for this
survey. <br>
