The main reason that I was in Austin several weeks ago was to attend a symposium at U-T’s Kilgarlin Center,titled “From Gray Areas to Green Areas:Developing Sustainable Practices in Preservation Environments.”While there were many sessions that I was anticipating,two that definitely did not disappoint were those by James Reilly of the Image Permanence Institute in Rochester,and Richard Kershner from the Shelburne Museum in Vermont. I’m planning to talk a bit more in upcoming posts about some of the sessions,but I wanted to drop off a few links here first. There’s a (low-activity so far) conference blog,as well as some pictures taken by various attendees here and here. I think that the conference organizers did a great job of selecting the various speakers and panels,and overall it was an inspiring and interesting event.
