Conservation and storage materials needed for the Regional Museum in Ica, Peru
Below is a list of conservation materials that colleagues from the Instituto Nacional de Cultura (INC), Direccion de Museos y Gestion del Patrimonio Historico and Direccion de Patrimonio Historico y la de Arqueologia of Peru are requesting as a result of the recent earthquates in Peru. Please contact Irene Velaochaga Rey, director, if you can help.
Almost every shelve fell in the storage area. Thousands of boxes containing archeological materials (including textiles, ceramics, wood,
etc) need to be rearranged in a new storage area. It is very urgent to stabilize the collections since the research materials from the Paracas Museum will be moved soon to this museum, and all paintings, bells, altars, and works of art from the affected churches in the whole region will be brought to this institution as well. Also needed are conservation materials for first aid until we have the assessment of what needs to be restored and what we can save.
