Association for Heritage Preservation of the Americas; Conference News
September 23 - 25 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The APOYOnline 30th Anniversary Conference and Workshop on Heritage
Preservation;
30 Years Building Bridges and Pathways for the Preservation of Cultural
Patrimony in the Americas
APOYOnline is a non-profit organization that promotes communication, exchange
and professional development in the field of heritage preservation in the
Americas and in Portuguese and Spanish speaking countries.
In June 2019 APOYOnline established the José Orraca Memorial fund, in order to
support professional development activities in photographic conservation among
Latin American professionals. The AIC Photographic Materials Group is proud to
support this initiative, with a 2019 $2,000 pledge. This support, along with
that of other donors, will help fund the upcoming APOYOnline meeting, which
currently has over 200 registered participants,16 panelists, 32 papers, and 60
posters from 17 countries, as well as a sold-out photographic conservation
workshop. Approximately 30% of the audience of the conference and workshop are
students from many training programs in preservation/conservation in Latin
America and Portugal. The José Orraca Scholarship will also help to make the
MANOS A LA OBRA ("Helping Hands") initiative at the State Archives of Rio de
Janeiro a reality. This community-focused volunteer initiative was created to
give back to the local communities hosting APOYOnline conferences
