Sustaining Our Heritage through Our Museums' Collections

The Institute of Museum and Library Services just published a book about its
history of support for conservation activities in America's museums. The
book is a tool for museum professionals to educate their boards,
contributors, patrons, and communities-at-large about the importance of
conserving their collections.  Beautifully illustrated in full-color, the
book highlights 21conservation projects ranging from the preventative
conservation of Franz Marc's Large Blue Horses at the Walker Art Center in
Seattle to eradicating bovine tuberculosis in African Bongo antelopes at the
Audubon Zoo in New Orleans.  For more information, including instructions on
how to obtain free copies for your museum, please see:
