half-price registration to a second participant from the same institution.
The program is intended for staff charged with collections care, including
librarians, archivists, conservators, curators, collections managers, and
stewards of historic house museums, and for staff responsible for the safety
of collections, such as site and facility managers and security and safety
staff.
