for Art, Science and History collections) website project.

Subject:  Share your storage solutions - STASH tips session at AIC 2015
 
 
In May 2014 FAIC, launched the STASH (Storage Techniques for Art, Science
and History collections) website www.stashc.com designed to gather, organize
and solicit new storage ideas. This project, in collaboration with the
Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC), and
funded by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation is based on the understanding that
the best ideas for safe and sustainable storage and support come from
collaborative solutions.  
 
There are few tasks more concrete and practical than devising a storage
mount that makes efficient use of an institution's human, financial and
material resources to preserve collections. The 43nd annual AIC Meeting on
practical solutions and "Making Conservation Work" provides a terrific forum
for continued discussion about these topics.
 
A STASH FLASH session has been scheduled on Wednesday, May 13 as a late
afternoon pre-session to the meeting.  The session will utilize a lightening
round of "Tips" session format as well as guided, audience participatory
discussion.  
 
We are calling for contributions of short (5 minute) presentations about an
innovative, efficient or sustainable storage solution to be presented at the
session and then posted on the STASH website following the conference.
Updates of solutions presented in the original SPNHC volume will also be
applicable. This year, we would like to encourage presenters to show up with
their solution in a ready format for uploading to the STASH website.
 
To submit your ideas please send a short abstract including the following
information to Lisa Goldberg ( <mailto:lgoldberg at stny.rr.com>
lgoldberg at stny.rr.com) by February 2, 2015.  If you are unable to attend but
have an idea to share we'd still love to hear from you.
