The Regional Alliance for Preservation (RAP)
MAKING
MATERIAL CHOICES FOR PAPER AND PHOTOGRAPHS
The
Regional Alliance for Preservation (RAP) began in February 1997 as a pilot
project of the Commission on Preservation and Access (Washington, DC) to foster
cooperation among the Preservation Field Service programs funded by the National Endowment for the
Humanities. When pilot-project funding ended in February 1998,
participants decided to continue RAP as a cooperative program, and in October
of that year, the alliance expanded to include members of the Association of
Regional Conservation Centers (ARCC). Initial funding enabled RAP to begin
publishing an occasional newsletter. The Institute for Museum and Library Services has
funded the development of this Web site.

Molecular Traps and Their Use in Preventative Conservation
WAAC, the Western Association
for Art Conservation, is a nonprofit membership organization for professional
conservators. WAAC was founded in 1975 to bring together conservators
practicing in the western United States to exchange ideas, information and
news. Although WAAC is specifically a regional organization for the western
states including Alaska and Hawaii, any individual or institution may become a
member regardless of location or national boundary. All payments to WAAC,
however, must be drawn on a US bank in US dollars.
