VCA November Meeting 5:30 PM. November 20, 2008 Virginia Historical Society The November VCA meeting features two presentations addressing two very distinct conservation endeavors: 1) the intensive conservation treatment of a single massive work of art, and 2) the use of survey and analytical techniques on a large body of objects to answer broad questions about human migration. We will hear from a very familiar face to the VCA, President Andrew Baxter, as well a conservator newly arrived in Virginia, Caitlin O’Grady, who recently began work as archeological conservator at the Department of Historic Resources. In addition to the presentations described below, there will be a short business meeting which will include discussion of the recent proposal to establish a new Outreach chair on the VCA Board of Directors. Refreshments will be served at 5:30 PM, and the program will begin at 6:30.
The Virginia Historical Society is located at 428 N. Boulevard (at the corner of Kensington and N. Boulevard). Parking is directly behind the building. ______________________________________________________________ Disaster Response Volunteers Needed! The Town of Pulaski Historical Society's building in an old train station burned down this morning. Unfortunately, textiles in their collection have suffered water damage and they are in dire need of conservation advice and assistance. If you can help, please call them at 540-994-8600. Thank you!
