and $210 for non-members.  To encourage institutions to register staff
involved in both collections care and safety and security, CCAHA is
offering half-price registration to a second participant from the same
institution.  The program is intended for staff charged with collections
care, including librarians, archivists, conservators, curators,
collections managers, and stewards of historic house museums, and for
staff responsible for the safety of collections, such as site and
facility managers and security and safety staff.
