An >extensive list of Michigan suppliers includes special services, such as >sources for refrigerating and drying wet objects or art conservators. > The site was conceived by the Michigan Alliance for Conservation of >Cultural Heritage, a statewide organization, founded in 1988, of libraries, >archives, museums, historical societies and preservation networks. The >Detroit Institute of Arts developed the site and will maintain it for the >Alliance. > The Alliance's goals are to promote public discussion among citizens of >the value of our cultural resources; to be active advocates of conservation >through workshops and public forums; help statewide organizations >coordinate attention to the jeopardized condition of Michigan's cultural >artifacts; and to foster action by individuals, organizations and >government to ensure the vitality and continuity of our cultural heritage. > The Michigan Alliance, with the support from the Michigan Humanities >Council, held a statewide conference on cultural heritage in 1991.
