The American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works

The American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC) is a professional organization dedicated to preserving cultural heritage. It brings together conservators—experts who care for artworks, historical objects, and artifacts—by providing education, resources, and standards for best preservation practices. The goal is to ensure that valuable cultural and historical items remain intact and accessible for future generations. AIC also promotes collaboration among conservators, museums, archives, and the public to support the responsible care of our shared heritage.
