offering half-price registration to a second participant from the same
institution. This program is intended for staff charged with
collections care, including librarians, archivists, conservators,
curators, collections managers, and stewards of historic house museums,
and for staff responsible for the safety of collections, such as site
and facility managers and security and safety staff.
