Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts

An interesting resource I ran across through the ARLIS listserv today!

"CCAHA specializes in the treatment of art and historic artifacts on paper and provides preservation education, training, and consultation.  Established in 1977, CCAHA is one of the largest nonprofit conservation facilities in the country."

CCAHA is having a number of interesting events this fall, including a "Care and Preservation of Textiles" training program in September 2012 and a program in November called "The Next Chapter: Rare Books in Modern Times." Conservators from all over the US will participate, including participants from Winterthur, the New York Public Library, and the Morgan Library and Museum.
