Abstract
Abstract Is it time for the U.S. based art-conservation graduate programs to take dramatic steps in order to better prepare students to enter the field of professional library and archives conservation? Having been in the field as a conservator for almost 50 years, and for about half of that time, carrying out extensive research using a variety of library and archival materials, the author reflects on the current educational situation and makes recommendations to lengthen the course of study by one year and to eliminate the science-courses prerequisite.
