BECOME A FRIEND OF ICOM-CC and GET CONNECTED TO CONSERVATION-RESTORATION

ICOM Committee for Conservation (ICOM-CC) (http://icom-cc.icom.museum)
connects the many and varied conservation-restoration activities dedicated
to preserving the tangible and intangible, moveable and immovable cultural
heritage of the world.

A membership of one of ICOM-CC’s 22 Working Groups
(http://icom-cc.icom.museum/WorkingGroups) is only possible for those
individuals who are full members of the International Council of Museums
(ICOM) and who have registered ICOM-CC as their International Committee.

However, now a new membership category has been inaugurated: the FRIEND OF
ICOM-CC and the STUDENT FRIEND OF ICOM-CC.

FRIENDS OF ICOM-CC can connect with this international group of
conservator-restorers, conservation scientists and curators by joining a
specialist ICOM-CC Working Group, gaining access to electronic newsletters
and notices, and taking part in Working Group activities. They can achieve
insight and understanding regarding the multifaceted role of conservation in
the world today.

FRIENDS OF ICOM-CC can share their experience and alert the professional
community to special issues in their context or region. They will keep up to
date with new research and developments.

FRIENDS OF ICOM-CC can join in the debate and activity of a specialist
Working Group, and help support public outreach and professional education
in conservation around the world.

FRIENDS OF ICOM-CC are offered reduced subscription fees for the Triennial
Meetings that bring together Working Group Members from around the world.

REGISTER IN 2004 AND GET THE 2005 MEMBERSHIP FOR FREE!

A FRIEND OF ICOM-CC membership normally runs over one calendar year.
However, taking into account the relative proximity of the ICOM-CC 14th
Triennial Meeting in The Hague, The Netherlands, September 2005
(http://icom-cc.icom.museum/TriennialMeeting), the ICOM-CC Directory Board
has decided to provide FRIENDS full membership of the ICOM-CC network until
31 December 2005 for those who register now. So register now and get the
2005 membership for FREE! It should be emphasised that membership of the
FRIENDS OF ICOM-CC will also entail you to the low ICOM registration fee at
the upcoming Triennial Meeting.

Registration as a FRIEND OF ICOM-CC is possible by contacting the ICOM-CC
FUND Secretariat ([log in to unmask]) in Rome. Registration will become
effective after the receipt of the registration fee.

The registration fee is:
FRIEND OF ICOM-CC:              € 40.00, respectively € 20.00*
STUDENT-FRIEND OF ICOM-CC**:    € 25.00, respectively € 10.00*

*The World Development Indicators Database of the World Bank lists countries
liable for a reduced fee (http://icom.museum/sec-report02-03_eng.html). The
lower fees are also applicable to ICOM members who have chosen another
International Committee than ICOM-CC for their free membership. If these
ICOM members would want to become an active member of one of ICOM-CC’s
Working Groups they must also register as a FRIEND OF ICOM-CC.
** To be documented with college/institute (photo) ID. A Student Membership
automatically terminates after five (5) years. After expiration the former
Student Friend must either become an ICOM member or a Friend of ICOM-CC in
order to preserve benefits and membership of the ICOM-CC network.

Subscriptions to Friends of ICOM-CC will support the ICOM-CC Fund, a
foundation working purely for charitable purposes aimed at promoting ICOM-CC
and its activities and publicising it within the international 'conservation
and restoration community' and museums in general, as well as to the public
at large throughout the world.
