Please pardon any cross postings:



Registration is now open for the 6th Annual Materials Selection & Specification Working Group meeting to be held online November 2 & 3, 2022.


The November meeting will follow a similar structure of previous meetings to include collaboration, updates on subcommittee work, and breakout sessions for developing content to help choose appropriate materials for use with cultural heritage collections. The program is in development, but is planned to cover 2 full days of content (Draft Agenda<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q2tsUhqm9qTJYqGOYYQClzs6-GdGxzDy8_tQef4Qjr8/edit?usp=sharing>). The meeting will focus on specific task-based subcommittee work including: Materials Testing, Analytical Instrumentation, Exhibition Guidelines, Materials Fact Sheets on CAMEO<http://cameo.mfa.org/wiki/Main_Page>, outreach resources, bibliographic references and more (Draft Concurrent Sessions<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZfDE82qSGi_qIvFpe31UV00pCgYjXg2kf2_pdire8Mk/edit#gid=2143705786>).


To RSVP there is no fee for attending the program; however, participants are expected to participate in resource development. Our overall goal is to build freely available online content. You can read about the goals for each MWG subgroup on the Materials Working Group Wiki<http://www.conservation-wiki.com/wiki/Materials_Working_Group> page. We are encouraging MWG members to extend the invitation to any and all exhibit designers, fabricators, and other colleagues at their institution or with whom they regularly work.


Attendance for the MWG meeting is limited, and pre-registration is required. Prior MWG participants are given priority, but we are eager for new participants, particularly colleagues involved in exhibition preparation, design and fabrication, and conservation science.


To request a spot, please RSVP by filling out this form<https://forms.gle/pHScquxBDPz1K17g9>. Your RSVP request will be confirmed with an email response after review of submission. Please RSVP by October 21, 2022.


For more information on the MWG, its mission and activities please visit the group's page on the AIC wiki<https://www.conservation-wiki.com/wiki/Materials_Working_Group>. Should you have questions in the interim, please contact the MWG Chair Rebecca Kaczkowski (aic.mwg at gmail.com<mailto:aic.mwg at gmail.com>) using: "MWG 2022 Meeting" in the subject line.
