At this year’s US National Conference on Cultural Property Protection Award Dinner the
evening of 7 February 2001, in a hotel outside Washington DC, Mr. Ton Cremers is awarded
the Robert B. Burke Award for excellence in cultural property protection. He becomes the
eighth annual recipient of this profession’s highest honor in the United States.

Mr. Cremers receives an engraved crystal glass flame to symbolize the spirit of
achievement and accomplishment in this profession. An accompanying photo (

Faulk of the Getty Conservation Institute with Mr. Dirk DeKlerck of the Belgium Police Art
Research Team who will deliver the award personally to the recipient on the coming
weekend.

The award recognizes a professional worthy of emulation by others, based on lifetime
achievement and specific project accomplishment:

* During his past 4 years  Mr. Cremers conceived and developed the Museum Security
Network--an Internet website and listserv at http://museum- security.org/ which has
outgrown all other national and world professional organizing and service efforts in the field
of museum and library security.

* The Museum Security Network continues to serve a limitless number of cultural
organizations and protection professionals in virtual time at the most minimum of cost.

* The work of Museum Security Network encourages improved cultural protection and
prevents and solves crimes against cultural property.

* Mr. Cremers’ determination, personal investment and modesty in providing continuous
worldwide service are a model of professional excellence without equal today.

Thank you, Ton, and wife Marian, for making this profession’s networking and
accomplishments 20th and 21st Century realities. No doubt it will be with great reluctance
that Ton would put this notice on his listserv for readers to know and appreciate. But he will
do so only to encourage each of you to conceive and develop those next accomplishments
that would make our work more effective and the world’s cultural property even safer.
