CONSERVATION CENTER FOR ART AND HISTORIC ARTIFACTS ANNOUNCES
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKSHOP FOR
FARMINGTON, CT
The Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts is
sponsoring a one-day environmental workshop, "Instituting a
Conservation Environment Monitoring Program," in Farmington, CT, on
Monday, November 13, 1995. A registration fee of $50.00 includes
a box lunch and materials. The workshop is partially funded by the
National Endowment for the Humanities.
The workshop is intended for library, archive, house museum, and
museum professionals, as well as for architects, engineers, and
staff involved in facilities management and design. The workshop
will supply the technical background to develop support and
documentation for improving environmental conditions for long-term
preservation of cultural collections.
This workshop will present the rationale, techniques, and equipment
used to monitor the critical environmental conditions for cultural
collections. Ways to develop realistic methods to monitor
humidity, temperature, lighting, particulates, and gaseous
contamination will be discussed, including analysis and
interpretation of hygrothermograph data. Various types of
monitoring equipment will be demonstrated, and a useful packet of
supportive information will be provided.
SPEAKER: Thomas E. Newbold, Vice President of Landmark Facilities
Group, Inc., a consulting and engineering firm in East Norwalk, CT,
will conduct the workshop on Monday, November 13, from
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Hill-Stead Museum, 35 Mountain Road.
