“Archiving, Restoration and Preservation? What better place to do it than at the Library of Congress facilities that do it. If you are in this field, join us and add your perspectives and experiences. If you are considering this field, learn the science and craft and meet folks doing it at the highest level. If you are a mastering engineer, is this not a perfect set of experiences to up your game and diversify your client list? This AES conference is not to be missed.” Alex Case, Past President, AES
