SULAIR Receives Conservation Award
At
its annual meeting on June 12, 2004, in Portland, Oregon,
The American Institute for Conservation of Historical
and Artistic Works (AIC) presented SULAIR its Distinguished
Award for Advancement of the Field of Conservation.
The announcement of the award to Stanford University
Libraries elicited enthusiastic cheers and a spontaneous
standing ovation. In her presentation remarks, Shelley
Sturman, Chair of AIC Awards Committee and Head of Object
Conservation at the National Gallery of Art, remarked,
"The service provided by The Stanford University Libraries
in facilitating communication among members of the conservation
field is nothing short of remarkable."
She
made special mention of the Conservation DistList and
Conservation On-Line (CoOL), http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/,
both of which are free services provided by SULAIR through
the extraordinary commitment of Walter Henry of our
Preservation Department. The mention of Walter renewed
even louder cheers and applause. Connie Brooks and Catherine
Tierney accepted the award on behalf of Stanford.
Other
recipients of this prestigious award include the Andrew
Mellon Foundation, the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the
Getty Grant Program, the American Academy in Rome, and
the Leo & Karen Guttman Foundation.
