AIC Conservation Catalogs Wiki Website
Luisa Casella
Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works, que reune os Conservation
Catalogs das varias especialidades num so recurso -
www.conservation-wiki.com.
“AIC and FAIC are pleased to announce the launch of a new
collaborative wiki website, based on the specialty group Catalogs. The
site, www.conservation-wiki.com, was made possible by a generous grant
from the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training
(NCPTT).
About the Project
In 2008, FAIC was awarded $23,000 from the NCPTT to convert the
Conservation Catalogs to wiki format. The Catalogs are reference
manuals that include descriptions of materials and techniques used to
preserve and treat works of art and historic artifacts. There are four
Catalogs in print produced on a volunteer basis by AIC specialty
groups: the Book and Paper Catalogs, the Paintings Catalog, the
Photographic Materials Catalog, and the Textiles Catalog. Together
they comprise over a thousand pages of information that is crucial for
the field of conservation.
How the Wiki Works
The print Catalogs have now been converted into digital format on the
wiki. The site is based on the MediaWiki platform, software that was
designed for Wikipedia.org. The wiki version of the Catalogs will
allow editors to work collaboratively and efficiently to update and
augment the Catalogs, and will provide much broader access to these
resources, ensuring that innovative methods and materials are
documented and widely disseminated to practicing conservators and
conservation scientists. While only the designated specialty group
editors can directly edit the wiki entries, other visitors to the site
can register and post relevant comments on selections.
If you would like to get involved with the wiki Catalogs, or if you
would like to start a new Catalog entry, contact your specialty group
chair.
Sincerely,
AIC Staff
The American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works
(AIC) is the national membership organization supporting conservation
professionals in preserving cultural heritage by establishing and
upholding professional standards, promoting research and publications,
providing educational opportunities, and fostering the exchange of
knowledge among conservators, allied professionals, and the public.

CCAHA debuts online AV Media Preservation Video Series
The Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) will debut its new audiovisual media preservation video series on October 27, 2009 to coincide with UNESCO’s World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. Based on CCAHA’s national professional development program A Race Against Time: Preserving Our Audiovisual Media, this video series will provide an ongoing web-based preservation resource to those who are responsible for heritage audiovisual collections but were unable to attend the live conferences. The videos will be available for free on CCAHA’s website at http://www.ccaha.org/education/videos.
Preservation leaders George Blood, President, Safe Sound Archives, Philadelphia, PA; Alan Lewis, Consultant in Audiovisual Archives, Washington, DC; and Sarah Stauderman, Preservation Manager, Smithsonian Institution Archives, Washington, DC; present timely and thorough audiovisual media preservation information in the following video segments:
· Audiovisual Preservation Basics
· Film Preservation
· Audio Preservation
· Video Preservation
· Contracting for Reformatting
The entire A Race Against Time: Preserving Our Audiovisual Media video series will be a permanent online resource available at www.ccaha.org after its October 27, 2009 debut. These videos were made possible though funding from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation with additional support from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. For additional information, contact CCAHA at 215-545-0613 or email p...@ccaha.org.
