<p><font face=3D"Verdana"><span style=3D"font-size:10pt">"The Applied=
Museum Studies program at Algonquin College
is conducting a survey to capture the current state of
conservation within the cultural sector across Canada. In
particular we are most interested in obtaining statistics on
the number of practicing conservators within cultural
institutions. More specifically, we are hoping to capture the
number of conservators conducting bench work within the
country, by province at cultural institutions (museums,
archives, libraries and galleries).<br/>
<br/>
"If you could distribute the survey to your members and have
them return it electronically to the email address provided
below it would be very much appreciated. Please feel free to
pass the survey along to similar list serves and organizations.<br/>

"I will compile the data collected and make a copy of my
findings available in the early fall, for those interested.</span></font><=
