I will be a panelist at this interesting pre-Millennial event. Please forward and cross-post. As the millennium approaches, the opportunity to reflect, redefine and preserve our identity is significant. Corporations, municipalities, universities and associations are seeking ways to preserve information, documents and artifacts that will inform future generations about our times. The workshop builds on the work of the conservation analytical lab at the Smithsonian Center for Materials Research and Education, which deals with issues of preservation every day and whose work is solely dedicated to preserving the objects we value most-from astronauts' space gloves to the Star Spangled Banner.
Space is limited.
Participants learn how the Smithsonian selects the best materials, sites, housings and containers for preservation of collections for future generations. The take-home capsule can be used to illustrate to colleagues the principles that must be considered when formulating a corporate time capsule project. Please forward this information to anyone who may be interested. Please forward this information to anyone who may be interested.
