AIC Now on the Internet

Visit the new American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic
Works (AIC) web site at http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/aic/ on the
Internet.  Everyone with an interest in the care of cultural property -
from families interested in the care of heirlooms to conservators, museum
professionals, and members of AIC - is encouraged to sign on, learn about
AIC, and explore the world of conservation.  For the general public and
professionals in related fields, the site provides guidelines for caring
for family heirlooms and a wide variety of objects as well as information
on how to select a conservator and use the free FAIC referral service.
Conservation professionals and AIC members will find useful information on
subjects such as specialty groups, AIC publications, membership
applications, and the annual meeting.  There are also features on special
programs, outreach materials, and FAIC grants.  The site is linked to
other related organizations such as the National Institute for the
Conservation of Cultural Property (NIC), the American Association of
Museums (AAM), and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).  The
AIC web site is also one of many listed on Conservation OnLine (CoOL), a
site devoted to resources for conservation professionals.

AIC is the national membership organization of professional conservators
dedicated to preserving the art and historic artifacts of our cultural
heritage for future generations.
