I’m thrilled to share with the Consdistlist the 2019 TSG program at AIC! This year AIC’s Annual Meeting will be held in New England in Uncaskville, CT, from May 13th – 17th. TSG sessions begin after the General Session on Wednesday, May 15th, and finish Friday, May 17th , before the Mistakes lunch. Along with papers which relate to the general conference theme of New Tools, Techniques, and Tactics in Conservation and Collection Care, there will be many topics addressed; this includes cross-disciplinary conservation issues with paper conservation, gels, ultrasonic cleaning, dye and fiber analysis, and wild orchids to name a few. I hope my excitement is catching.
TSG Reception tickets are now available! This year all of the Specialty groups have decided to hold their receptions at Mystic Seaport. There will be talks and tours on the Mayflower II, boat rides on the Liberty, exhibitions to enjoy, as well as the opportunity to meet new colleagues and reconnect with old friends. TSG Reception will be held at the Member Center at Mystic Seaport. This year our reception is generously sponsored by Dorfman. The member rate is $52 while the student rate is $25. Both rates include food, drinks, and transportation. All the details can be found in Sched (https://aics47thannualmeeting2019.sched.com/event/IwCI/aic-specialty-receptions-a-mystic-seaport-experience) Here are some quick links to registration information, the full schedule, and the TSG schedule.
