ANTIQUES  ANYONE  ?

  Have you ever received a family antique or treasure?  Have you ever looked at an item or artifact and wondered, what on earth is that?  Have you ever guessed at its history while asking yourself what it was used for and who might have utilized it in their daily routine?  Have you ever told yourself how fortunate you are to be surrounded by antiquities and memorabilia from the past?  Answering yes to any of these questions means that you already are a Quester at heart!

  Questers are collectors of antiques, collectibles, and history.   Questers spend their time learning about their treasures from books, libraries, and friends. Questers help to preserve and restore antiquities, buildings, and historic sites.  Questers also help students gain a Master of Arts Degree in  Historic Art Conservation by awarding a Fellowship at Winterthur/University of Delaware and a Master of Science Degree in Historic Preservation and Restoration with two Scholarships at Columbia University.

  Questers are over 15,000 strong, living in the United States and Canada.  Our organization is made up of over 900 chapters in 43 states and 2 provinces.  Each chapter has between 8 and 30 members, usually meeting in homes, unless going on a tour or antiquing trip.  Members give short talks at their monthly meetings on an antique or collectible after researching information on their topic.  There are usually two State/Provincial Meetings each year and an annual International Convention held in the spring in different areas.  The 2007 International Convention was held at the Crown Plaza in Tulsa, Oklahoma ; and the 2008 International Convention will be held at the Indianapolis Marriott in Indianapolis, Indiana
