"Focus on Collections Care" Workshop Series

The three-day workshop series will be held at Bell Memorial Union at
California State University, Chico, CA, from January 18-20, 2006.  This
series is presented by San Diego-based Balboa Art Conservation Center and is
designed to provide an intensive training experience with a programmatic
approach.  The series curriculum focuses on: care of collections, policies &
procedures, and planning & management.  Nine full-day workshops will be
offered to allow participants to select the workshop(s) appropriate to their
specific needs.  Participants may attend for the full three days or less.
The workshop series is directed towards persons involved in collections care
management, institutional development and policy making, and exhibition
development and installations.  Students in degree-related programs are also
encouraged to attend.  Each workshop will take place from 9 AM to 4 PM.
"Focus on Collections Care" is made possible by a grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities, with additional support provided by the Andrew
