<p><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">The twentieth and twenty-first centuries introduced a bewildering array of new materials, used to design a broad range of objects now collected in museums, libraries, and archives.  
 Many artifacts were designed to last the centuries, while others that were once innovative show signs of deterioration.  Colors change and fade, structures lose their integrity in unanticipated ways, or material components become obsolete.  Cultural institutions
 must understand the long-term preservation needs of these items in order to determine appropriate priorities for conservation, storage, exhibition, documentation, and digitization.  This two-day conference will explore the guiding principles of collecting
 and caring for artifacts of key historic importance from the recent past. Participants will attend general sessions in the morning and then have the option to select from concurrent sessions in the afternoon.</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
