Join the Architecture Specialty Group (ASG) and Preventive Care Network (PCN) for lunch and an engaging discussion on the intrinsic connection between the care and maintenance of historic buildings and the preventive care of collections. The luncheon will feature panelists exploring the 1992 New Orleans Charter for the Preservation of Historic Structures and Artifacts, considering its impact over the past three decades, and examining how emerging challenges and trends shape its relevance today. This conversation will lay the foundation for a Symposium hosted by ASG and PCN in 2026, dedicated to reflecting and revisiting the Charter.
