PUBLIC UPDATE WEBINAR | FREE AND OPEN TO ALL

ISO TC 349 Cultural Heritage Conservation Public Webinar
<https://niso.org/events/iso-tc-349-cultural-heritage-conservation-public-webinar>

Thursday, February 27, 1:00–2:00 pm ET (US/Canada)

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) formed TC 349 in
2024 to develop standards for terminology, technologies, and materials and
equipment for the monitoring, evaluation, preservation, and restoration of
cultural heritage. The committee’s work is focused specifically on the
conservation of tangible objects and excludes the preservation of
cinematography, photography, and content covered by the work of the ISO
Technical Committee on Information and Documentation (ISO TC 46). NISO has
now been appointed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to
manage the US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to TC 349.

During this meeting, we will discuss NISO’s role in the ISO Standards
development process and  opportunities to participate as members of the TC
349 TAG, which will ensure that US perspectives are represented in
discussions about setting world-recognized standards, from conservation
terminology and basic principles to seismic protections and exhibition
environments.

This event is free and open to the public, but please register
<https://niso-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/yXv6mmLgRwKgISgk71iymw> to
attend.

We look forward to seeing you soon, whether in Baltimore, online or both!
