About

The Association of North American Graduate Programs in Conservation, or ANAGPIC, was founded in 1984 to support an annual conference for presentations of student work and research, to promote advocacy of graduate-level education in the conservation of cultural heritage, and to foster collaboration among the members of the organization. Members currently include: Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Preservation and Planning; the Conservation Center of the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU; the Garman Art Conservation Department at SUNY Buffalo State University; Queen’s University’s Art Conservation Program; the Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies, Harvard Art Museums, at Harvard University; the University of California, Los Angeles/Getty program; the Stuart Weizman School of Design at University of Pennsylvania; and the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation.

The annual conference, first held in 1974 at the Corning Museum of Glass, is hosted each spring semester by a member university to convene students and faculty to share outstanding recent technical research and conservation treatments. Papers and posters from the conference are made accessible after the event at: https://resources.culturalheritage.org/anagpic-student-papers/.

We are grateful to the Mellon Foundation for its generous support of the ANAGPIC conference, which enabled our students and colleagues in Chinese paintings conservation to attend this year’s meeting.
