A couple of corrections to this post. The AIC referral list includes
Professional Associates (PAs) AND Fellows. PAs are required to have a
minimum of three years of experience beyond their training. Fellows are
required to be PAs for at least two years prior to application and must have
a minimum of ten years of conservation experience.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Conservators in Wisconsin (and cleaning paintings)
As mentioned previously the Find a Conservator resource on the American
Institute for Conservation website is a great place to search for
professional help in your area. Conservators listed there are all at the
Professional Associate level meaning that they have a minimum of 7 years
work experience beyond their technical training and have gone through the
AIC application process for PA status.
Specifically for a conservator in the Wisconsin area though you might try
contacting Christine Del Re at the Milwaukee Public Museum. She is an
excellent conservator and if she cannot help you directly she may be able to
point you to others in the area (tel: 414-278-2780).
I would also like to encourage the individual posting about cleaning
paintings to contact a conservator. I do believe that there are some types
of cleaning that other museum professionals can do responsibly but cleaning
a painting with ingrained dirt in the varnish or paint layers is not one of
them. The odds are that you can do much more damage than good and if your
budget does not allow for professional assistance delaying the project is
probably best.
Best,
