Logistics:
Participants in Why Does Silk Shatter will read literature before joining in a one-hour chat to discuss care of silk collections. Participants will be sent information the week before the chat. Each student should read course materials and prepare questions or comments to share with the other students in the chat.

This is a mini-course and takes no more than 10 hours of a student's time. It will be held once in 2007.

Please sign up at http://www.museumclasses.org and pay at http://www.collectioncare.org/tas/tas.html If you have trouble with either, please contact Helen Alten at helen@collectioncare.org
