Angels project
For the first time, the Photographic Materials Group is offering an Angels Project to assist a local institution with preservation needs for their photograph collection. The initiative will take place on January 26, 2009, immediately following the Winter Meeting. The Arizona Historical Society in Tucson, Arizona was chosen this year. Angels Projects have been a tremendous success in years past and the AIC has encouraged the specialty groups to become more involved. PMG’s response to this call was to include a project targeting photograph collections in association with our Winter Meeting. We hope everyone will stay on an extra day to join us in this effort. Please email Laura Staneff with any questions you may have and especially if you plan on attending. Our project goal is directly linked to the number of people involved so please let her know as soon as possible.
