The NEDCC is one of the world leaders in library and archive conservation/preservation. One of my teachers in school, George Cunha (a truly remarkable man who had been a chemist, a sailor, a conservator, and then a teacher), was a founder of NEDCC and had been director. It's not a conference I can go to, but I thought some of you might be interested, especially if you can get your institution to foot the bill. Thanks to Julie Martin from MEDLIB-L for passing this along.
