PACA is a regional group comprised of conservation and preservation professionals in the greater Philadelphia area. It aims to offer innovative programming (not the same old stuff) that enhances the daily work of preservation professionals and conservators in the greater Philadelphia area, to support a collegial atmosphere, and to work with allied colleagues and the community at large to encourage productive communication. Misson: PACA’s mission is to promote knowledge and a sense of collegiality for its members while expanding the knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of preservation and conservation for the public.
