The Collections Care Training Program, sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic
Association of Museums and the University of Delaware, sounds like it's
just what you need.  I don't have a contact number here at home, but
you can contact MAAM or contact the PA Federation of Museums and
Historical Organizations at (717) 787-3253 or 787-1902.
