Hi Everyone
Could you please read the message below from Dr Michael McCarthy of the
Department of Maritime Archaeology of the Western Australian Museum. He is
attempting to finalise this document and would appreciate hearing from
anyone who may be able to offer their services in the capacity indicated

Conservation expertise sought
The International Committee on Underwater Cultural Heritage (ICUCH) of
ICOMOS through its President, Robert Grenier, are seeking the development of
a list of individual conservators and institutions that might be prepared to
offer their expertise, advice or assistance to less well equipped regions or
countries seeking assistance from ICUCH in the conservation of their
underwater cultural heritage.
In association with my colleagues in the Western Australian Museum's
Materials Conservation Department, I have been invited to commence the
development of the the list and then to return it in its near-complete form
to the Committee for use in attending to any requests for conservation
assistance that it might receive.
The list could include details of institutions and individuals both
practicing and retired, voluntary and professional who would be in a
position to provide expertise, advice or assistance to others through ICUCH.
I would expect the details that should be provided for individuals will
include

materials from submerged pre-historic Aboriginal site etc.
