Bidding a Fond Farewell to Marie
|
Our outreach conservator, Marie Desrochers, is leaving the division at the end of March for a new position out of state. Marie joined Utah Arts & Museums in 2021 as part of the National Endowment for the Humanities-funded initiative for the Utah Collections Preservation Program (2021-2024). Marie tirelessly served far corners of the state, developing and delivering valuable preventive conservation training and closely mentoring preservation projects at a number of institutions. She'll be moving into a new role at Yale University Library in New Haven, Connecticut. We will miss her, and we wish her the best!
