The following is a copy of the information file about the latest
addition to the family of ICOM e-mail distribution lists:
ICOM-CC is the International Conservation Committee of the International
Council of Museums (ICOM). ICOM-CC organizes more than 1200 professionals
concerned with the museum world and the conservation of objects. It has
members from countries on every continent.
Twenty-four Working Groups are the backbone of the Committee. They may
deal with:
- scientific investigations into objects of significance to cultural and
natural history.
- optimizing solutions to conservation problems,
- developing standard techniques and manuals,
- planning disaster management and preventive conservation.
The Working Groups present and discuss their results at Triennial
Meetings.
The ICOM-CC distribution list is intended to serve as an electronic forum
for the discussion of all issues within the Committee's field of concern.
It will additionally serve as a medium for the exploration of
applications of computerized networking technologies to the conservation
profession. List members are encouraged to participate by
posting information and queries on all subjects of concern to
their discipline. Official Discussion may also be posted
by the ICOM Conservation Committee Board and Working Groups.
The list is open for public subscription. However, only registered
members of the ICOM Conservation Committee may submit contributions for
posting to it. If you wish to join the ICOM-CC list please send a message
