Are you interested in the Professional Accreditation of Conservator-Restorers (PACR) scheme?

The PACR implements standards for the care of our cultural heritage across a range of disciplines. Conservator-Restorers accredited by PACR have demonstrated to assessors that they have the appropriate knowledge, practical skills and sound professional judgement.

The PACR accreditation scheme is owned by the Institute of Conservation (including UKIC and IPC) and operated in collaboration with participating bodies the ARA and The British Horological Institute.

For more information please see www.pacr.org.uk

Please get involved!

If you wish to engage with us or find others working in Archives, Conservation or Record Managers working in your Section or Region take a look at our ARA Community area, build your profile and start discussing!
