Exhibitions and Case Design: Integrating Preservation in Planning Presented by the Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) Thursday, December 6, 2007 Philadelphia, PA Cosponsored and hosted by the Chemical Heritage Foundation About the Program Viewers peering into exhibit cases see displayed artifacts and objects but do not witness the long planning and installation process that culminates in the finished exhibit. This program will give your institution tools to ensure that your visitors see safely mounted objects in a secure, controlled environment. Presenters, who include exhibit designers, conservators, and fabricators, will discuss exhibit development, best practices for collections care of objects on display, and other preservation considerations when mounting exhibitions in cases. Concepts presented will be applicable to a variety of small and mid-size institutions. The inclusion of preventive conservation combines both preservation and aesthetic considerations in the exhibit planning process. The selection of appropriate objects for exhibition, choosing safe exhibit materials and isolation barriers, controlling pollutants, creating optimal environmental conditions, and monitoring and maintaining exhibits after installation will be defined and discussed. Case studies will demonstrate the concepts presented and a speakers' panel will address additional audience questions. This program is intended for curators, librarians, archivists, collection managers, exhibition designers, preparators, conservators, and other staff who are involved in exhibition design and installation in cultural institutions.
