is a joint collaboration between ARCS and the Collections Stewardship
professional network of AAM. Please submit your application by November

***Sealed Frame Package Questionnaire, Image Permanence Institute***
As part of the first phase of a three-year research project, Cost-Efficient
and Environmentally Responsible Preservation Methods for Preparing
Paper-Based Objects for Transit and Display, the Image Permanence Institute
(IPI) is conducting a sealed frame package questionnaire. The results of
this questionnaire will inform a current inventory of commonly used
materials for sealed frame package components. These materials will be
evaluated for cost and environmental waste comparisons, and tested in
laboratory experiments of sealed frame package designs.

The questionnaire should take approximately 10 minutes to complete and
addresses the following topics: 1) Use of sealed frame packages, 2)
Exploring topics related to cost and environmental waste associated with
sealed frame packages, and 3) Sealed frame package material components and
design.
