Call for Presentations –APT DC Annual Symposium March 2011
Topic:  Climate Control for Historic Buildings and Collections



The Association for Preservation Technology DC Chapter, in conjunction  
with the Washington
Conservation Guild, requests presentations for our  Annual Symposium to be 
held in Washington DC on
March 24-25,  2011. Presentations are to address the challenges of 
balancing the needs of  building
preservation, museum collections and visitor comfort. The Symposium  would 
like to explore the
decision-making processes related to the  introduction of environmental 
controls, best practices for
climate control,  successes and failures (including lessons learned), and 
the utilization of green  practices
and technologies.

All presentations that discuss case studies should address one of the  
above topics and presenters are
encouraged to demonstrate how the case study  contributes to the field by 
providing in-depth analysis of
what was learned  in the course of the study or project.



Abstracts should be 250 to 300 words and must include the title, the name  
of the speaker or speakers,
the address of the speaker and any institution  they are representing, 
email address of the speaker and
the speaker’s resume.  Students are encouraged to submit work that is 
relevant to the topic.



Presentations are to be 30 minutes in length with time for  questions.



Abstracts are due January 10, 2010 and should be sent to APT DC at 
_info at aptdc.org_ (mailto:info at aptdc.org)  with  a copy to
_catherine_dewey at nps.gov_ (mailto:catherine_dewey at nps.gov) .
