Conservation specialists will provide professional insights and practical recommendations for assessments in the following categories: works of art, documents on paper, photographs, three-dimensional artifacts, and textiles.

Take part in an intellectually-engaging, fun-filled day of discussion, demonstrations, and exploration of the emerging field of digital humanities. The concept behind digital humanities is the intersection of computing with traditional areas of humanities such as history, philosophy, literature, art, archeology, and cultural studies. As such this workshop is open to a wide-range of participants including museum professionals, students, scholars, librarians, archivists, computer programmers, and interested amateurs. The agenda will be user generated with an emphasis on collaboration and spontaneity. THATCamp was established in 2008 by the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. Since then THATCamps have taken root across the globe. Come learn about this fascinating topic and how you can integrate it into your institution’s programming.
Mimi Roberts, Director of Media Projects, New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs and Doug Patinka, Web Site Manager, New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs.
