BECOME A FRIEND OF ICOM-CC
and
GET CONNECTED TO CONSERVATION
Conservation connects the many and varied activities that take place in museums and sites around the
world.
Friends of ICOM-CC can connect with an international group of conservator-restorers, conservation
scientists and curators by joining a specialist ICOM-CC Working Group, gaining access to electronic
newsletters and notices, and taking part in Working Group activities. They can achieve insight and
understanding regarding the multifaceted role of conservation in the world today.
Friends of ICOM-CC can share their experience and alert the professional community to special issues in
their context or region. They will keep up to date with new research and developments.
Friends of ICOM-CC can join in the debate and activity of a specialist Working Group, and help support
public outreach and professional education in conservation around the world.
Friends of ICOM-CC are offered reduced subscription fees for the Triennial Meetings that bring together
Working Group Members from around the world.
