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 to attend.
