Regional
Groups
Anyone wishing to become active and participate in conservation
please contact the group in your area.
We are a group of conservators and other interested individuals
who promote conservation in Alberta. ARG! is affiliated
with the Canadian Association for Conservation of Cultural
Property and participates as a Museums Alberta Special Interest
Group. The first meeting of Conservators in Alberta (CIA)
took place in October 1979, in Stettler, during an Alberta
Museums Association conference. Our founding members were
Lisa Mibach, Ann Lambert and Gail Niinimaa. http://www.cac-accr.ca/english/e-CAC-about-ARG.asp
The 2006 CAC Conference and Workshop was great success!
Conservators from all disciplines came to Toronto from across
the country and the globe to share their work and ideas.
The event gave local conservators the chance to showcase
their city and their institutions. Building on this momentum,
the Toronto Area Conservators Group (TACG) is being revived!The
aim of TACG is to provide an informal forum for conservators
in the GTA to establish and build relationships with their
colleagues, foster dialogue across specializations, share
information about their work and have some fun! This will
take place in pub nights interspersed with occasional sessions
that may include tours, speakers or other presentations
to be held at local institutions. There are no fees to be
a part of TACG. Contact: tacg-cac@hotmail.com
The Atlantic Regional Group (ARG) is a group of conservators
and interested affiliated professionals that provides a
forum for discussion and promotion of conservation on the
east coast of Canada. Isolation can be a problem, particularly
for private conservators, so sometimes it's nice just to
get together for lunch and talk shop! The group tries to
have regular meetings and continues to develop strategies
for bringing conservation into the community at large. Modelled
on the AIC initiative, such strategies as "ARG Angels"
(inception in 2005) provides local arts, heritage and cultural
institutions with the opportunity to have one day of access
to conservation personnel on site working with them, dealing
with problems and giving advice on preservation issues affecting
their collections. This increases their knowledge about
conservation matters and helps to make conservators more
accessible. Whenever possible, the ARG provides its members
with a training excursion,usually involving a local institution
where the experience is reciprocally enjoyed. The ARG can
be soon be reached through its new website, coming soon:

The PCG is now 30 years old and as strong as ever. It is
an extremely informal group with nobody in charge, no contact
person, no number to call nor email to send to. This is
the West Coast, after all. But the bonus is that there are
no membership fees. There is a binder that passes back and
forth between Vancouver and Victoria, and even to Kelowna
on occasion, being in the hands of the people arranging
the next meeting, which is decided at the previous meeting.
We meet on a Friday in the fall (usually November) in Victoria
and in the spring (usually May) in Vancouver. The meeting
location varies, depending upon who takes on the organization
and what kind of space they can arrange. The contact list
is passed with the binder and by email. The papers sometimes
follow a theme, but generally are whatever anyone (strong-armed
by the current organizer) has to say. And there's usually
a tour or workshop included in this jam-packed day of professional
development and social reconnecting. Come check us out next
time you're in the area.
