Hello VCA!

This is a reminder that we will be holding the rescheduled March meeting tomorrow, April 28th at 6:30pm, which can be accessed via Zoom. The link to the Zoom meeting is here:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88061443271

As a refresher, the meeting will feature a presentation by Francis Lukezic, who works as an Objects Conservator at the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory. Lukezic will present on the treatment of an officer’s cavalry helmet from the War of 1812. The helmet was worn by Sergeant Jacob Huyett, a resident of Maryland, and is now part of a military uniform assemblage that belongs to the Washington County Historical Society in Hagerstown, MD. The presentation will include details of the conservation treatment and the experience of partnering with the Historical Society. We hope to see you there!

Your Programs Co-chairs,
