Hosted and
co-sponsored by:
SUNY Buffalo
State Art Conservation Department
Architectural
records are vital documentation of our built environment and provide insight
into social and economic trends throughout history. The tasks of
collecting, managing, preserving and providing access to these records can be a
challenge to those charged with their care. Speakers at this conference
will address the many aspects of caring for architectural record
collections. Participants will learn about the significance of
architectural records; the array of materials and methods used to create them;
collecting policies; access and use recommendations; preventive preservation
measures; reformatting and management of electronic files; as well as have
opportunities to engage in discussions with fellow participants who are
managing similar collections.
This
conference is intended for archivists, librarians, curators, historic
preservation officers, records managers, and others who are responsible for
collecting, preserving, and providing access to architectural, landscape, and
other design records.
The Academy
of Certified Archivists will award Archival Recertification Credits to eligible
Certified Archivists attending this program. For more information, go to www.certifiedarchivists.org.

Martin
House Complex Tour:
CCAHA has
arranged for program participants to take an in-depth tour of Frank Lloyd
Wright’s Martin House Complex on July 16, 2014 at 2:30pm.
The
multi-structure estate (1903-05; 1909) that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for
Darwin D. Martin is a masterpiece of 20th century
architecture. The Martin House is widely considered one of Wright’s
finest Prairie Houses—a signature work from the early years of his
celebrated career. Wright himself referred to the Martin House complex as
“the opus” and kept the site plan pinned to his drawing table for
close to fifty years.
Pre-registration
and pre-payment for the tour is required. Participants are responsible
for transportation and must arrive at 2pm. Free parking is available.
