Anisha Gupta, Co-Chair
Anisha Gupta is PACA's junior Co-Chair, elected to the Board of Directors in 2019. She is the Assistant Conservator for Archival Materials at the American Philosophical Society (APS). Most recently, Anisha was the Andrew W. Mellon Fellow at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. She holds an M.S. from the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation, where she majored in works on paper with a minor in photographic materials and a focus on preventive conservation.
Anisha is thrilled to be able to contribute to the conservation field by serving as Co-Chair for PACA. In this role, she takes minutes at board meetings, writes thank-you notes to our speakers, and assists with budgeting and event planning. "As a new Philadelphian, I'm very excited to be part of the active and dynamic community created by PACA," Anisha says. "I'm interested in using the co-chair position to continue PACA's successful community-building efforts, as well as to help PACA expand to new issues facing conservators, ranging from disaster response in the era of climate change to gender equity in a #MeToo society. I think PACA is well poised to start a dialogue on these issues while continuing to foster a community for its dedicated members."
