There is still one week left to apply for ICA 8th Annual Subsidized Survey! Each year, ICA selects one collecting institution to receive this free service. The goal of the award is to help the recipient institution identify its preservation needs. The information gained through the assessment can help the institution prioritize or raise funds to address those preservation needs.

ICA will offer one collection survey focusing on a select group of artifacts within an institution. An ICA conservator will visit the recipient institution to examine the objects on-site for up to two days, and written condition reports and treatment
recommendations will be provided. The selected institution will be asked to contribute only the travel costs associated with on-site visits.

Any non-profit cultural institution that can demonstrate a commitment to collections care is eligible to apply for this survey.
