Decisions

  • Katie Risseeuw is the recorder for the meeting.
  • Spring Mold Remediation Workshop will be held at the Newberry Library on May 10th. Ross will get information from the speakers about their talks and write up a blurb that will go into the February newsletter. We will send out Save the Date emails soon with descriptions of the presentations. The registration site will be set up by April 1. We decided to have a slideshow of photos of mold that will loop before the meeting, so if anyone has good pictures, send to Elizabeth and she will put it all together. Elizabeth brought up the idea of arranging conservation lab tours for attendees of the workshop. There would be a limited number of spots.
  • Publicizing the CCAHA / NEH conservation assessment grants – we can do this by forwarding the email. Someone from the group should do it so it comes from a preservation professional instead of CARLI staff. Ross is going to see if he is on the appropriate email list.
