There was a session at AAM last year, sponsored by the RC-AAM's PACIN Task
Force on art handlers and preparators.  You should check with Brent Powell,
Chair of the PACIN Steering Committee (Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, 4525 Oak
Street, Kansas City MO 64111; fax 816 561-7154) for information from that
session.

BTW Brent is also looking into forming an AAM Professional Interest Committee
(PIC) for museum-based preparators, art handlers and packers.

Janice Klein
Chair, RC-AAM
