> Fur Trade Legacy:
> The State of Preservation of Organic Materials
> May 17-18, 2005
> 
> In 2005, Alberta will celebrate one hundred years as a province. Alberta's earliest success was intimately linked to the Canadian Fur Trade, and the Workshop explores the specialized area of organic materials conservation. What is the state of preservation of collections that were once the foundation of nation building? Where are the products of the fur trade that once brought wildlife to the brink of extinction: the beaver hats, the swan skin powder puffs, the ermine trims, the buffalo coats and bear rugs, the plumes of the Belle Epoque, the mink capes? 
>  
> The Workshop aims to answer questions such as: What advances have been made in conservation treatment of historic furs and feathers? What are the ideal environmental conditions for fur storage? What are the chemical and structural properties of mammal hairs and bird feathers, including their pigmentation, that impact display decisions? What goes wrong with leather?
>  
> Case studies on cleaning, stabilization and moth control, hands-on identification of fur and feather specimens, planning and maintaining cold storage, and research into the light-fastness of organic pigments will be presented for a comprehensive overview of the state of preservation of organic materials in history collections. Presenters are invited to share curatorial, scientific, technical and conservation expertise with workshop participants. The hands-on components include cleaning techniques and the preparation of reference slides and identification kits.
>  
> Submissions will be published in English and French as Preprints of the Jasper 2005 Conference Workshop. The deadline for abstracts is December 31, 2004. The deadline for final papers is January 31, 2005.
