[SOA] Deadline Approaching for Third Annual Free ICA Collections Survey

[Nicole Hayes]

The 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.

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 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 here
<http://www.ica-artconservation.org/education/ICASubsidizedSurveyApplica
tion.pdf> . Applications can be mailed, e-mailed, or faxed and are due
October 30, 2009. Preference will be given to applicants in Ohio and its
adjoining states. Contact Director of Education Nicole Hayes at
nhayes at ica-artconservation.org <mailto:nhayes at ica-artconservation.org>
or 216.658.8700 with any questions.

The Intermuseum Conservation Association is the oldest not-for-profit
regional conservation center in the United States.  Founded in 1952, the
ICA treats artifacts of all types including paper-based materials,
paintings, textiles, outdoor sculpture and architectural elements, and
