C&R's Editor-in-Chief Wins APEX Award
Patti Harman, RIA's Director of Communications and Editor-in-Chief of Cleaning & Restoration Magazine, was awarded the 2007 Apex Award for her feature article in Cleaning & Restoration Magazine entitled, "Preserving Priceless Documents Damaged by Katrina." The 19th Annual APEX Awards program recognizes and honors excellence in graphic design, editorial content and the ability to achieve overall communications excellence. This year's competition had approximately 5,000 entries.
Harman's article visually described the process involved in rescuing and preserving three centuries worth of New Orleans' history in documents dating all the way back to the 1700s. Among the documents were slave records, land grants, and letters from the War of 1812. When asked why she submitted this piece, Harman said, "It really captures what our industry does and it's a perfect example to illustrate a company using their expertise and technology to restore something that should have been considered a total loss."
