The AIC website provides this aggregation of online resources. I find the wiki to be particularly useful and reference it often.
The Conservation of Easel Paintings is a fairly recent publication that gives a comprehensively broad, but not overly deep overview of the field of paintings conservation and was written by a worldwide group of experts.
The Science for Conservators 3 Volume Series is a great introduction to the scientific concepts involved in the field if that's something you feel you need. If the Science for Conservators Series seems overly basic for you, I recommend The Organic Chemistry of Museum Objects; this book is out dated in some of it's details, but is still a seminal book that is largely unmatched in content.
Thanks for your advice. The portrait is 15" x 9" x 3/16ths". Is it possible to store it in an acid-free plastic bag (an "archival" bag like [https://www.amazon.com/Cardboard-Gold-11x17-Sleeves-RESEALABLE/dp/B00PT65276/]) and store that in a box? It seems like storing the piece loose in a box would invite having it knocked about.
I will look into "ask a conservator" days around Miami. Thank you again!
