What?
The Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) and ASOR are partnering to provide members a valuable one-day workshop on emerging realities in conservation and its integration with archaeology.

- Understand the role of conservation as an integral part of archaeological practice.
- Gain valuable insight and information concerning, planning, budgeting, and funding for conservation.

Why?
- ASOR members aim to make a difference by conserving those traces of the ancient past that we work so hard to discover, interpret and share.
