lease find below a link to a survey developed by the Resources Subcommittee of the Materials Selection and Specification Working Group (MWG), a new initiative of the American Institute for Conservation's Collection Care Network.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MJSHKYV
The MWG is a community of collection care, conservation, analytical science, and allied professionals united in developing guidelines and best practices for selecting, evaluating, and disseminating materials used in collection care.
Please see the group's Wiki page which describes our mission, sub-committees and goals in more detail. http://www.conservation-wiki.com/wiki/Materials_Working_Group
The group meets annually with the next meeting next month on November 1 and 2. Much activity of working group participants over those two days will be directed by the results of this survey. Your participation is critical.
If you are interested in participating in the survey, please do so by October 26th. Receiving the results by this date will leave enough time for the subcommittee members to evaluate data and report effectively at the November meeting. It should only take about 15 minutes of your time.
We very much appreciate your help with this effort. If you are interested in participating in other ways with the MWG please email MWG Chair, Becky Kazckowski (KaczkowskiR@si.edu).
All our best,
The MWG Resources Subcommittee
