I am writing in response to Jennifer Nuske's March 20 posting about conservation
courses and related information.

The American Institute for Conservation publishes a series of pamphlets
which may be of some use (although not a course of study by any means),
including "Caring for Special Collections", "Guidelines for Selecting a
Conservator", "Caring for Your Treasures: Books to Help You".  You can
contact the AIC
at [log in to unmask]

I would also suggest you contact Museums Australia and the Australian
Registrars Committee (Erica, Jesmond are you on this list?) for more information
about opportunities in Australia.
