 Message: 
I'm hoping that someone may have encountered a similar situation and be willing 
to share their experience and/or knowledge.


I work in, and am responsible for, the conservation and care of a Grade II* 
listed building in the UK.


One of the building's notable features, and a key reason for its listed 
designation, is the extensive survival of high-quality interior finishes, 
including patinated bronze and widespread use of travertine and marble on walls 
and floors throughout.


I was recently brought into discussions regarding a proposal from our cleaning 
services provider to switch to a product called Clean Zero.


>From the very limited technical information available, beneath a considerable 
>amount of marketing material, Clean Zero appears to be a system that converts 
>ordinary tap water into ultra-pure water (UPW).


Having carried out some further research into the properties of ultra-pure 
water, I have become concerned about its suitability for use on historic 
materials. While guidance on heritage applications appears limited, what 
information I have found suggests that UPW is generally not recommended for 
certain heritage surfaces and may be particularly problematic when used on 
travertine and marble. My understanding is that, because ultra-pure water is 
highly ion-deficient, it can behave as a chemically aggressive solvent, which 
is one of the reasons it is used in the semiconductor and other high-tech 
industries.


Given the manufacturer's claims that the product is 100% sustainable, entirely 
harmless, and highly effective at removing staining, particularly from modern 
carpets and soft furnishings, I am being asked to demonstrate that the 
potential risk to heritage surfaces is genuine and not simply an objection to a 
new "wonder product".


Has anyone had direct experience of using ultra-pure water in the context of 
travertine, particularly historic travertine with a high calcium carbonate 
content, inherent porosity, and an original polished finish? Any insights, 
evidence, case studies, or practical experience would be greatly appreciated.

 Subject: RE: Ultra Pure Water
 Message: 
UPW is probably the equivalent of German demineralized water. You are 
absolutely right to be extremely cautious, as it is one of the most aggressive 
solvents in existence. Unfortunately, many conservators are unaware of this; 
they regard it for example as a "clean final cleaning agent"... Ideally, it 
should be used only in air-conditioning systems, where tap water might cause 
limescale buildup. Because it constantly seeks to replenish its mineral 
content, it leaches pigments-for instance, from unvarnished oil paintings. For 
this reason, the German conservator Dr. Paul-Bernhard Eipper (an IIC Fellow) 
repeatedly warns against the use of demineralized water in his *Handbuch der 
Oberflächenreinigung* (Handbook of Surface Cleaning). This Handbook (with 120 
contributors) is the European standard and contains also chapters on stone and 
imitated stone surfaces.

 Message: 
Hi Jennifer, what a fun challenge!


Cool, dry, dark, and in a pest-proof container are the best conditions for most 
baked goods.  Be aware if the RH is extremely low there is risk the food will 
become more brittle and fragile. 


We have a piece of wedding cake (~100 years old) that we're able to store in a 
(collections only) cold storage freezer. It's wrapped in several layers of 
moisture barrier as well as a rigid box to protect from impact. We also 
regularly inspect the package to check for any moisture or other issues.


I recommend Emily Hamilton's excellent paper for more detailed consideration 
and background material:


"The Analysis and Treatment of Food Artifacts: 


A Sugar Paste Wedding Cake Topper and President Grover Cleveland's Wedding Cake"

Subject: Advice on Housing a Historical Food Object


Hello All,

I am looking for advice on the long-term housing and storage of a sugar cookie 
made in 1993, which is currently housed in a shadow box and is being preserved 
at my institution as a historical object.  I am interested in hearing from 
colleagues who have experience caring for food items in archives, museums, or 
special collections.  I appreciate any recommendations for housing materials 
and methods that provide physical protection while helping to minimize 
deterioration and pest activity.  One option I am considering is housing the 
cookie in a shallow steel container with a fitted, potentially lockable, steel 
lid.

Are there any concerns I should consider regarding ventilation, temperature, 
humidity, off-gassing, or pest activity, as well as the materials appropriate 
for lining or supporting the cookie within the container?  I am also open to 
alternative housing methods that may better suit its long-term preservation.  
If you have experience preserving historical food items, I appreciate hearing 
about your approaches, recommendations, or relevant resources.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

The U.S. Committee of the Blue Shield at Twenty: Two Decades of Protecting 
Cultural Heritage in Peril

USCBS Annual Conference
 <https://uscbs.org/annual/>

 






As the U.S. Committee of the Blue Shield celebrated its twentieth anniversary 
yesterday, the American University's Washington College of Law and USCBS 
brought together experts in cultural property protection for a day of 
discourse, engagement, future planning and celebration of this milestone. This 
worthwhile program was organized and hosted by Attorney Patty Gerstenbith, 
President, and James H. Reap, Vice-President, from the International Council on 
Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) thus engaging in advocacy, legal policy, training 
and mentoring for heritage protection. It mainly featured talks by 
international cultural heritage professionals from Sudan, Ukraine and Iran, who 
provided an update on the Blue Shield around the world and in the US. 

The USCBS conference schedule can be seen here 
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DgeqqnhF17_EYOg4q5XcRY1C9o-M2siC/view?usp=drive_link>.
 The conference speakers and moderators can be found here 
<https://canva.link/64uxwncdsg7sgsm>.

---

During the USCBS event I mentioned and reminded the attendees and presenters -- 
how we, as cultural heritage professionals can avoid the risks of another 
catastrophic fire like the one that destroyed 90% of the collections of the 
Brazilian National Museum and began around 7:30 PM (19:30 local time) on 
Sunday, September 2, 2018.     
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Museum_of_Brazil_fire>National Museum 
of Brazil fire <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Museum_of_Brazil_fire>

 

8 years have passed and many challenges remain urgent for cultural institutions 
in the Southern region and in the Americas. I encouraged the USCBS members and 
attendees to look for ways to help more Latin American countries where they had 
recent earthquakes, for example in Venezuela and in Colombia. The risks and 
hazards exist, and it's important to work together.

 Subject: 2027 AIC Annual Meeting: Sept 30 Abstract Submission Deadline
 Message: 
Greeting from IWG,




The AIC Annual Meeting will be in Albuquerque, NM May 3-7, 2027. May 2027 feels 
really far away at the moment, but now is the time to be planning! 

We are going to have an excellent imaging program, and you are going to want to 
be there! And if you are going to be there, you might as well be a part of the 
program. And if you are going to be a part of the program, you need to submit 
your abstract by September 30! (That deadline is less than two weeks away.) 

What could you submit an abstract for? 

Imaging Tips Lunch Session

This session focuses on practical, cost-effective, and creative solutions for 
imaging-related challenges and projects that folks can walk away with and 
easily try back home. These presentations are informal, short (5-7min) 
presentations on imaging tips, tricks, and tools.

*Note that abstracts for the tips are due at the same time as the formal 
presentation abstracts which is new this year!  

Specialty/Interest Session: In-situ Photogrammetry for Site-Specific Sites and 
Monumental Objects - Joint Session (IWG and Architectural Specialty Group) 

This joint session focuses on scale and in situ photogrammetry, with 
presentations that provide practical setups, workflows, and solutions for 
imaging architectural spaces and elements, buildings and sites, or monumental 
objects in less-than-ideal capture environments. 

Thematic Concurrent Session: Imaging and Building Trust

Following the overall conference theme, this session seeks to examine how 
imaging and conversations around imaging can aid in building trust.

 

Longer descriptions for each of these sessions are included on the AIC Annual 
Meeting website 
(https://www.culturalheritage.org/events/annual-meeting/current-meeting/call-for-submissions
 
<https://www.culturalheritage.org/events/annual-meeting/current-meeting/call-for-submissions>).

Subject: Defend the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106)

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) is advancing a sweeping 
and damaging plan to rewrite the regulations for Section 106 
<https://culturalheritagepartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/citizenguide2021_011321.pdf>
 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the part that requires 
federal agencies to evaluate the effects of federal projects on and avoid harm 
to historic properties. It is hard to overstate the importance of the NHPA and 
Section 106 to cultural heritage stewardship in the United States. Even if you 
have not directly experienced a Section 106 review, it has likely reached you 
indirectly. Every member of AIC and many of our international colleagues have 
likely visited a site (or many!) protected by, driven on a U.S. federal highway 
whose route was vetted because of, or knows someone in this sector whose work 
is profoundly influenced by Section 106.

 
In late July, the ACHP hastily approved 
<https://www.achp.gov/news/achp-votes-move-forward-notice-proposed-rulemaking> 
sweeping deregulatory revisions to Section 106 
<https://culturalheritagepartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/citizenguide2021_011321.pdf>
 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), sending the revisions to the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) for critical review before 
they are published to the Federal Register for public comment.The ACHP is an 
independent federal agency charged with historic preservation leadership within 
the federal government. The revisions they have put forth are in contradiction 
to the protection of historic and cultural places: they curtail public 
participation, eliminate protections for Traditional Cultural Landscapes, and 
strip the regulations of the language that ensures meaningful consultation and 
requires projects to avoid, minimize, and mitigate harm. You can read the 
redlined version here
 
<https://culturalheritagepartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/20260717-36-cfr-part-800_nprm-redline_for-achp-vote.pdf>
 and the draft 
<https://culturalheritagepartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/20260717-achp-nprm-part-800-regs_draft_for-achp-vote.pdf>
 here. 

   
New rules under this administration compel OIRA to rush decisions and 
prioritize deregulation, which does not lend itself to a considered review of 
this 400-page document with the potential for tremendous negative impact on 
stakeholder communities, entire industries, and the general public. 
  
During this review period, the heritage sector must rally to defend Section 
106- and many organizations are answering the call by educating the rest of us, 
organizing advocacy campaigns, and preparing for litigation. Join and support 
those efforts by taking some of the following steps now:

 
Watch recordings of webinars hosted by Cultural Heritage Partners 
<https://culturalheritagepartners.com/war-room-for-threats-to-section-106/> and 
National Trust for Historic Preservation <https://savingplaces.org/section106> 
to educate ourselves on what is at stake.
 
Write to your representatives 
<https://support.savingplaces.org/page/101008/action/1?ea.tracking.id=Website> 
to share how the revisions will negatively impact historic preservation efforts 
in your area. 
 
Call your representatives with these helpful scripts 
<https://culturalheritagepartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/20260722-106-war-call-and-email-scripts-chp.pdf>
 from the law firm Cultural Heritage Partners 
<https://culturalheritagepartners.com/defend-section-106/>.
 
Urge your representatives or local organizations to schedule a meeting with 
OIRA <https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eo/neweomeeting>, using the RIN: 
3010-AA10, to share concerns about changes to Section 106. Currently, the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs is in a review process 
<https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eom12866SearchResults?pubId=202510&rin=3010-AA10&viewRule=true>
 during which interested parties can request meetings to express their concerns 
regarding proposed changes to Section 106. Here are some suggested scripts and 
talking points to bring to the meeting: 


Suggested Talking Points

 for meeting with your representative 
<https://culturalheritagepartners.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/20260828-section_106_district_meeting_playbook.pdf>
  
Get your organizations to sign the Open Letter to Congress about Section 106 
<https://culturalheritagepartners.com/open-letter-to-congress-from-national-coalition/>.
 Ask your organizations' leadership (e.g., the museum you work at, your 
professional association, or the local historical society where you are a 
member) to join hundreds of other organizations around the country, including 
AIC, in signing a national coalition's call for Congress 
<https://culturalheritagepartners.com/open-letter-to-congress-from-national-coalition/>
 to protect our cultural heritage.
 
Be prepared to submit comments to ACHP when the comment period opens later this 
fall! Watch the NTHP webinar linked above for great tips on writing an 
effective public comment. We will post again when the comment period begins.
 
Send examples 
<https://support.savingplaces.org/page/100989/survey/1?ea.tracking.id=Website> 
to the National Trust for Historic Preservation of success stories where 
Section 106 led to win-win outcomes.


Please join your colleagues in taking action on this important issue now and 
this fall as we work to protect cultural heritage preservation in the United 
States, and thank you!

Yours in solidarity,

 Subject: Take a Survey on ICE Preparedness in Cultural Heritage Workplaces - 
help CHAACo help you!
 Message: Dear Colleagues,

 

CHAACo wants to help you and your organization get from having resources about 
preparedness to implementing an ICE preparedness plan. Your feedback helps us 
understand where the greatest needs and gaps are- what kinds of organizations 
and workers need support, in which regions, and what sort of support you need.

 

This is your opportunity to shape our efforts! Do you need more information? 
Leadership buy-in? A seat at the table? Customized training? Legal referrals? 
Tell us in the survey! 
<https://www.chaaco.org/resource-hub/immigrants/ice-survey>

 

This anonymous, secure survey is for anyone who works, volunteers, or does 
contract work on site for a cultural heritage-related organization in the 
United States. Available to take in English, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese!

The purpose of this survey is to gauge self-assessed needs and preparedness for 
immigration enforcement (or "ICE") encounters at GLAM-sector workplaces. (GLAM 
is short for "Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums" and includes a 
spectrum of related organizations.)

The results from the survey will be used internally to help the  Cultural 
Heritage Advocacy and Action Coalition (CHAACo) <https://www.chaaco.org/> 
tailor our efforts <https://www.chaaco.org/resource-hub/immigrants> to serve 
the urgent needs of cultural heritage communities in the United States.

For your privacy, this survey is anonymous and end-to-end encrypted, hosted via 
CryptPad.org, an open-source encrypted platform. To ensure your anonymity, we 
do not request names, email addresses, personal identity-based information, or 
other uniquely identifying information, and we do not collect IP addresses. If 
we come to believe that any submitted answers are personally identifying or 
provide information about undocumented status, we will anonymize or delete 
those specific answers in our records within one month of discovery. While 
CHAACo may share insights gained from the survey, for the safety of our 
communities, full data sets and complete written answers will not be published.

 

For more information about the survey, visit our Survey page 
<https://www.chaaco.org/resource-hub/immigrants/ice-survey>.

 

Please submit your response by the end of September to help us understand if 
designing a training program will best serve you, and what to focus on! We will 
continue to accept rolling submissions to inform our ongoing work, but your 
impact will be greatest now. 




Take the ICE Preparedness Survey 
<https://www.chaaco.org/resource-hub/immigrants/ice-survey>




And please, help us circulate this survey to your coworkers across all teams. 
We want to hear from everyone: collections specialists, janitors, exhibit 
designers, security guards, directors, café staff, docents, greeters, 
gardeners, and more!




Thank you!
