Later this week Jae Gutierrez, Emily Bernal, Marvin Cummings, and Emma Richardson will be attending the American Institute for Conservation’s 54th Annual Meeting in Montreal, a joint conference with the Canadian Association for Conservation of Cultural Property.

If you are attending the conference, visit them at booth 305 of the exhibit hall to discuss IPI’s current research initiatives, education program opportunities, updates on eClimateNotebook, and consulting or testing services.

On May 1st of the conference, Emma will present Investigating the Prevention of Mold Germination in Museum Collections During Sustainable Operations and Emergency Response, a summary of IPI’s ongoing mold research funded by an Institute of Museum and Library Services National Leadership Grant for Museums.

IPI is introducing a new webinar series this Fall designed for preservation professionals who would like to develop a foundational understanding of the thermodynamic principles that govern what happens in storage and display environments and why these phenomena matter.
