2009 WCG Angels Project 2009: Call for volunteers
Charles Sumner School Museum and Archives, Washington, DC
Saturday, November 7th, 10am to 4pm
The Washington Conservation Guild will host its annual Angels Project at the Charles Sumner School Museum and Archives in Washington DC on Saturday, November 7th. The project will focus on the re-housing and stabilization of approximately 125 framed documents, portraits and other vertical collections. With the closure of several large DC public schools, the collections are growing and expanding daily- and they are running out of storage room. The vertical collections are currently a priority- as they are stored in less than ideal locations throughout the collections area and are in need of rehousing in order to stabilize them for storage and to allow accessibility to the collections so they can be used by researchers and the public.
WCG now has enough volunteers to help with this project! Many thanks to all.
Please let us know if you have further questions about the project. Volunteers should be able to work from 10 to 4pm at the site—all supplies and lunch will be provided by the host institution.
