The Regional Alliance for
Preservation (RAP)
MAKING
MATERIAL CHOICES FOR PAPER AND PHOTOGRAPHS
The
Regional Alliance for Preservation (RAP) began in February 1997 as a pilot
project of the Commission on Preservation and Access (Washington, DC) to foster
cooperation among the Preservation Field Service programs funded by the National Endowment for
the Humanities. When pilot-project funding ended in February 1998, participants
decided to continue RAP as a cooperative program, and in October of that year,
the alliance expanded to include members of the Association of Regional
Conservation Centers (ARCC). Initial funding enabled RAP to begin publishing an
occasional newsletter. The Institute for Museum and Library Services has
funded the development of this Web site.

Zeolite Molecular Traps and Their Use in
Preventative Conservation
WAAC, the Western Association
for Art Conservation, is a nonprofit membership organization for professional
conservators. WAAC was founded in 1975 to bring together conservators
practicing in the western United States to exchange ideas, information and
news. Although WAAC is specifically a regional organization for the western
states including Alaska and Hawaii, any individual or institution may become a
member regardless of location or national boundary. All payments to WAAC,
however, must be drawn on a US bank in US dollars.
