DESCRIPTION:Ivory has been a valued material for the carving and inlay of 
 artifacts and art objects in many world cultures. It has been discovered 
 in archaeological contexts and found use in ethnographic\, historic\, and
  decorative arts contexts. While an entire object may be carved of ivory\
 ; smaller amounts may be added to other materials like wood boxes or furn
 iture and metal objects such as musical instruments or firearms. This web
 inar will focus on the collections care of elephant ivory objects and add
 ress the other mammal ivories. As all natural ivories share some importan
 t similarities\, regarding collections care\, they are generally treated 
 as a class of related materials. The causes and evidence of damage\, as w
 ell as preventive measures that can be undertaken\, will be discussed. Th
 e importance of legal acquisition of ivory and its relevance to the criti
 cal protection of living animals will be emphasized. The role of regulato
 ry measures implemented to protect wildlife conservation\, such as the Co
 nvention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and the End
 angered Species Act (ESA)\, that impact acquisition and travel of raw and
  worked ivory objects will be noted. Documentation for internal record-ke
 eping and for travel will be addressed. While conservation treatment will
  not be covered in this webinar\, indications of when to contact a conser
 vator for assistance will be noted.\nFor more info: https://www.connectin
