David,

This probably is self-evident, but I would be most interested in being involved in this project. I have done treatments, condition assessments and preservation consulting for clients in many parts of the country, including for the California Department of Parks treating their horse drawn vehicles, so you may not want to think of conservators based strictly upon their geographic location. Please let me know how I can help. Thanks.

CALL FOR EXPERTS & MUSEUMS

America’s National Treasures, a new television series from National Geographic, is seeking Appraisers, Conservators and Curators to lend their expertise and possibly appear on camera examining items brought in by the general public. The show is similar to Antiques Roadshow except it will concentrate on objects that relate to American History & Culture and will be filmed in beautiful and interesting museums across the country. We start filming in California in October but will need experts in all regions as production progresses. We are also looking for Museums that would like to host the “Open Calls” where people from the community bring objects in to be assessed (The Museum’s collections would also be highlighted providing great publicity!). After the Open Call, several objects per episode will be selected for further investigation, conservation services and could be selected for an upcoming National Geographic Travelling Exhibition.
