History of the PMG Wiki

== Development of the PMG Wiki==
In 2009, the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation (FAIC) launched the AIC Wiki with funding assistance from the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT), a division of the National Parks Service. Striegel, Mary. October 9, 2009. “FAIC launches Conservation Wiki”. blog post. National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT). Accessed August 29, 2020.. This year the three existing Photographic Materials Conservation Catalog printed chapters became online wiki pages. Three other chapters that had been started prior to the AIC Wiki launch were also included in the new PMG wiki. Various photographic materials bibliographies were added as well. Over time, new chapters and pages have been added, edited and moved as deemed necessary by the PMG Wiki Committee Chair and Members. For more on the PMG Wiki, see AIC News Article dated March 2023Mendoza, A., Valverde, F., Maloney, A., Cieslik, E., Brown, B., & Casella, L. (2022). PMG Wiki: From Print Chapters to Online Resource. AIC News, 27(2), 5-9.. 
=== Photographic Materials Conservation Catalog===
At the 1989 Kansas City Winter Meeting, the Photographic Materials Group nominated a catalog organizing committee to survey the membership about initiating a photographic materials conservation catalog similar in concept to the Paper Conservation Catalog (PCC). Committee members, Nora Kennedy, Sarah Wagner, and John McElhone, surveyed the membership to determine the need for such a resource, if the PCC format would be a good format to follow, and if members would volunteer to become chapter compilers and contribute to outlines. The results of this survey were presented at the AIC-PMG Meeting in Richmond in 1990. The membership endorsed the idea of starting a conservation catalog, with the understanding that a rigid production schedule could not be initiated due to the limited size of the membership and volunteer nature of the project.
