DESCRIPTION:Conservation may be the most central cultural issue of our\ntim
 e. The transition from analog to digital documentation means that the huma
 n\nrecord itself now faces an entirely new set of preservation challenges.
  The\nearth’s climate change makes conservation of physical features into 
 a new\npolitical challenge. And all this is happening while artists\, prac
 titioners in\nvarious fields\, and scholars turn to conservation with high
  expectations for\nnew knowledge about the past. This one-day symposium ad
 dresses the problem of “Extreme\nConservation”—both the extremity of the g
 eneral situation and extremely\ndifficult but information-rich cases of co
 nservation.Peter MillerDean and Professor\, Bard Graduate CenterWelcome an
