INCCA membership is open to any individual professional who is involved in the conservation of modern and contemporary art. Conservators, curators, scientists, registrars, archivists, art historians and researchers are amongst its members. INCCA membership is through active participation and is based on openness, a commitment to knowledge exchange and a commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration.

Membership criteria

• You are a professional involved with the conservation of modern and contemporary art.
• You either work for a recognised organisation (referred to as an INCCA Partner) or are freelance (or are a student) and can be endorsed by an existing INCCA member.
• You believe in the INCCA mission and governing values.

Contributing database records

Membership to INCCA is free, however members are expected to contribute at least 5 records to the database per year. In the case of several members working at the same organisation, the 5 record contribution can be shared. Groups of affiliated freelancers may share the contribution in the same way. To accommodate research projects that generate many records, a larger number of records may be submitted during one year followed by several years with no submissions.

Other forms of contribution

Alternative contributions by members are possible. For example, an educator may become a member if they encourage students to create records as part of their curricula.
