Background
Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, this teaching and learning platform aims to facilitate collaboration among the Library and Archives Conservation faculty and students. The site provides online interaction opportunities, shared access to teaching materials, and links to news about conservation research and practice.
The grant was originally funded by the Scholarly Communications Program of the Mellon Foundation and is now a part of the Public Knowledge Program which supports efforts by libraries and archives to conserve, preserve and provide access to materials of broad cultural and scholarly significance.
The 2013 - 2021 Library and Archives Conservation Cohorts include students from the Conservation Center of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, the Garman Art Conservation Program at SUNY Buffalo State, and the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation.
