Hurricanes and AIC CERT

[StephGaub]

What a great resource for those who have experienced damage to their collections.

The American Institute for Conservation has a new service to offer museums, libraries and archives in the US. The AIC Cultural Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a team of 60 trained conservators prepared to deploy in the event of a disaster. The conservators are specialists in a broad spectrum of materials and are all capable of coming in to an institution and providing a damage assessment.

If your institution suffers damage from the recent hurricanes (or floods, fires, tornadoes, etc.) please call the 24 hour hotline at 201-661-8068.

We have an informational brochure at http://aic.stanford.edu/news/AIC-CERT.pdf. If you have any questions, please contact Aimee Primeaux at 781-646-0584 or aprimeaux@gmail.com.
