For many years, the status of Library and Archive Conservation Education (LACE) in the United States has been in flux. The history of the institutional education of library conservators in the U.S. has been surveyed elsewhere in this issue. This essay will begin by reviewing some recent history and describing current collaborative efforts to educate conservators in this specialty within the three comprehensive graduate programs in cultural heritage conservation in the U.S.: The Conservation Center at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts (IFA), the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation (WUDPAC), and SUNY Buffalo State’s Garman Art Conservation Department (SUNY Buffalo State), hereafter referred to as the Consortium. This essay will conclude by addressing several ideas for future directions in the education of library and archive conservators. In 2016, the Consortium approached the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to request funding of a survey of library and archive institutions in the U.S. with the stated goal “to determine priorities and identify areas of both strength and weakness regarding the skills and competency of conservators entering the workforce” (Waller and Thomas 2016, i). Concurrently, the Mellon Foundation funded planning grants to explore potential future directions in the education of library and archive conservators. One grant investigated the establishment of a library and archive conservation education program at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) within their Program in Library and Information Science, another considered the continued funding of the collaborative LACE curriculum

美国图书馆和档案保护教育的现状和未来方向

多年来，美国图书馆和档案保护教育（LACE）的地位一直在变化。本期其他地方对美国图书馆管理员的机构教育历史进行了调查。本文将首先回顾一些最近的历史，并描述当前在美国三个综合性的文化遗产保护研究生课程中教育保护人员的合作努力：纽约大学美术学院 (IFA) 的保护中心， Winterthur/特拉华大学艺术保护计划 (WUDPAC) 和 SUNY Buffalo State 的 Garman 艺术保护部门 (SUNY Buffalo State)，以下简称联盟。本文将通过讨论图书馆和档案馆管理员教育未来方向的几个想法来结束。2016 年，该财团与 Andrew W. Mellon 基金会接洽，请求资助一项对美国图书馆和档案机构的调查，其既定目标是“确定优先事项并确定有关进入的保护人员的技能和能力的优势和劣势领域。劳动力”（Waller 和 Thomas 2016，i）。同时，梅隆基金会资助了规划拨款，以探索图书馆和档案馆管理员教育的潜在未来方向。一项拨款调查了加州大学洛杉矶分校 (UCLA) 在其图书馆和信息科学计划中建立图书馆和档案保护教育计划，
