[BCMA] ASK A CONSERVATOR DAY

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

ASK A CONSERVATOR DAY

Conservators around the world are participating in Ask a Conservator Day,
which will take place on November 4th, 2019. This is a significant day: on
November 4th, 1966, the Arno River flooded Florence, damaging priceless
cultural heritage. However, in response to the catastrophe, incredible
efforts were made—and are still being undertaken—to conserve the items
impacted by the flood.

Ask a Conservator Day follows in the spirit of that international
collaboration and exchange of knowledge. The Canadian Association of
Professional Conservatorsbe will be acknowledging and celebrating the
growth of the field inspired by the response to the flood by creating an
opportunity for people to engage with conservators on social media.

If you have any questions that they'd like to ask conservators,  send them
to liaison at capc-acrp.ca before November 2. They will post answers,
including pictures and videos where appropriate, in a series of short news
articles on thier website on November 4.

By using the hashtag #AskAConservator on social media platforms (such as
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram), we can provide a holistic view
of what conservation entails—everything from individual conservators
working in private practice to multiple departments at large institutions.

To truly show a representative picture of conservation, we need your help!
Please promote this event on your social media accounts and participate in
any way that feels appropriate. If you're a conserivor, this could include:

   1. making yourself available to answer questions about conservation on
   your personal social media;
   2. working with your institution to use their social media handles to
   engage with their audiences; or
   3. answering questions on a livestream from your lab

Thank you so much,

Adrian
