Integrating the ECPN blog with the AIC blog is something that has been on the table for awhile now. Merging the two like this allows for more flexibility and also more visibility for both. But, when you go to the AIC blog, you can still choose to only view the ECPN-related posts by going to &quot;Search by category&quot; on the right hand side of the page and choosing ECPN. As far as I know, we won&#39;t be taking this blog down, at least not until all of the previous posts are archived within the AIC blog. If you have any other questions let me know!Molly Gleesonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10240651211347296164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402822483309261908.post-66278367247854435222011-12-22T06:38:10.570-08:002011-12-22T06:38:10.570-08:00Just curious as to why the blog has moved?

Laupus Health Sciences Library. I was the project curator for a large collection of dental artifacts. My supervisors and co-workers were all amazing librarians who knew little about conservation or curation. I had the opporutnity to explain some basic terms such as curation, conservation, stabilization and restoration. I think they are pretty excited about future conservation with the project and they will be working with the Maritime Studies Conservation Program to cooridnate future projects. They will also be digitizing the collection for all to see. <br /><br />On a separate note, I&#39;ve started a blog, &quot;Archaeology, Conservation and Curation&quot;. It has been a lot of fun and so far I&#39;ve just been recording my own experience with conservation classes, presentations and graduate assistantships. I&#39;ve also been contacted by a few different groups and asked for details on how to get in contact with other groups (conservation related and history of medicine related). <br /><br />It has been great to see the growing connections amongst academic fields and between academia and the public, and to know that I helped with that in some small way.Whitney Rose Petreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01266300426560130204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402822483309261908.post-20785578655631198742011-09-13T09:00:30.825-07:002011-09-13T09:00:30.825-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Whitney Rose Petreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01266300426560130204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402822483309261908.post-61207007062635779972011-09-08T21:13:16.764-07:002011-09-08T21:13:16.764-07:00Hi all,<br /> I&#39;m one of those Northern Californian emerging conservators that helped to plan the last get together we had. It really started with an email to be honest. Then we came up with a time and place and wrote up a little invitation to send out. We sent it, by email, to the people we knew, asked the Bay Area Art Conservation Guild to ask invite any persons who might be interested, and posted an event on the ECPN facebook page.<br /> When we looked at a location, we chose a place that was accessible by public transport and car, and also had a decently priced menu so that any person could afford at least one thing on the menu. We also tried to pick a time that was after &#39;work hours&#39; but not too late. One thing I noticed is that if it is a restaurant, make sure everyone brings cash because most restaurants don&#39;t like splitting checks and will include gratuity on parties 6 or more. It made it much easier to pay at the end.<br /> The invite had all the information needed and had one contact person as an RSVP. When we finally met, we went around and introduced ourselves but that was the only formal thing. We did change seats half way through which gave everyone the opportunity to chat.<br /> There will be another meeting in the future involving professional conservators though this is still in the works and is presenting new problems. If you want me to talk more about the past or future meeting, I would be happy to. Just tell me who to email!<br /><br />Hope this is helpful.Melissa Stonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14726915562944861344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402822483309261908.post-45409338487138130452011-09-07T15:39:58.092-07:002011-09-07T15:39:58.092-07:00Hi Rose,<br />Some of the work I&#39;ve done thru my business, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Vespiary-Bookbinding-Conservation-Ceramics/10680105711" rel="nofollow">The Vespiary</a>, may fall into some of these categories. There was some press around a time capsule I helped crack open, and I keep both a blog and Facebook page to stay in touch with both conservators and customers. Being isolated up here in Montana, I rely on social media heavily to stay connected to the conservation world. Would be happy to talk more about it.Audrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07578915155157916484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402822483309261908.post-35221148401488930162011-08-11T08:19:30.671-07:002011-08-11T08:19:30.671-07:00There are some really wonderful ideas here. I am a pre-program student and have worked with 2 conservators who apprenticed and trained into the field and 1 who went to the Buffalo program. Lisa mentioned that she would like to hear about apprenticeships, and I could possibly interview a couple of them this fall and put together advice from conservators with both backgrounds? It would be even more interesting if people could ask conservators they are working with about their experiences, and we could gather those stories and advice in one place. Any ideas?<br /><br />Also, I would be happy to organize an ECPN get together in whatever city I am in next! I will keep you posted.Samantha Fisherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10951040675250965353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402822483309261908.post-28516084305273969182011-07-22T10:51:54.389-07:002011-07-22T10:51:54.389-07:00I&#39;d love to learn about alternative methods of education - people who learned through apprentice training or rose through the ranks by working in labs while pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees in other fields. I live in the Upper Midwest and just can&#39;t get to a formal program.Lisa Muccigrossohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18079456455519490368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402822483309261908.post-78497657915503617932011-07-13T09:17:05.339-07:002011-07-13T09:17:05.339-07:00I would be willing to help but I&#39;m not sure how useful I would be. I&#39;m working in a private conservation practice but I mostly do office work. I would also be willing to host a gathering if persons in the SF Bay area were interested in doing so.

Additionally, I would be interested in hearing about the differences in interning and/or working in a private practice vs a museum. Lastly, I would be interested in advice on settling into a new location from those who have moved frequently to pursue internship opportunities.Daisyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08266836059610447219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402822483309261908.post-31952063059634460332011-07-11T10:06:17.170-07:002011-07-11T10:06:17.170-07:00Thanks for all of the wonderful ideas!

I&#39;m in the midwest too, and would really like to learn more before I apply to programs. I used Elluminate for a chemistry course, and it was actually really great.<br /><br />Additionally, I agree with Jennifer, I think it&#39;d be great to have ECPN meetups, like coffee or something, in major areas. I&#39;m in the a big city (Chicago, specifically), and I think it&#39;d be great to meet other pre-program students, recent grads, and fellows from the area and share stories.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12318806863206210678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402822483309261908.post-29085707487006502502011-07-07T19:59:57.156-07:002011-07-07T19:59:57.156-07:00I&#39;m have a foreign degree and I&#39;m working in the US though I did not do a Master&#39;s. I&#39;m one step down in a PostGrad diploma. But if there is anything I can do to help I would love to. <br /><br />Also, I go to SJSU and they use Elluminate for their online class meetings. I am pretty familiar with that but don&#39;t know if it is something anyone can use. Thought it might be worth looking into for webinars.<br /><br />Lastly, I thought it would be interesting to learn about the day-to-day in different kinds of conservation practice. For instance, I work in a private practice and know little about museums or libraries. Don&#39;t know if that is something anyone else would be interested in or if it has already been done but I thought I&#39;d put it out there. Sorry about the long post! I guess I had a lot to say. :)Melissa Stonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14726915562944861344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402822483309261908.post-82495153501033528572011-07-06T06:31:12.530-07:002011-07-06T06:31:12.530-07:00Thank you for letting me know about the post by Ida, Heather! And just let me know about the webinar.<br />Support groups for art conservation groups would be interesting, especially as we are moving around a lot while interning and may not know a lot of people where we are, it would be good to have that connection.Capri Pricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18340780003984025573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402822483309261908.post-44644545419241357272011-07-05T22:30:53.642-07:002011-07-05T22:30:53.642-07:00I too would really appreciate and participate in a portfolio webinar. At last years UDell portfolio day, most students had a lot of intern conservation projects in addition to artwork. Any info on that topic would also be very helpful.

Just to chat, have coffee, talk about their experiences, etc. Kind of like support groups:) <br /><br />Could be organized by city if there are enough in a specific area that could have meetups.Jennifer Martinezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08364250055256438589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402822483309261908.post-91715053180518420472011-07-04T18:26:41.798-07:002011-07-04T18:26:41.798-07:00Like Anisha, I am also in the Midwest, so portfolios would be a great topic. And if conservators have suggestions for classes that aren&#39;t necessarily required for the programs, but ones they would have found useful either before going to school or just in their professional experience, that would be great to know as well!Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13764060864495498848noreply@blogger.com
