MANAGING PRESERVATION
A Series of Five Coordinated Seminars
October 2009 to September 2010 
 
MANAGING PRESERVATION IS A SEMESTER-EQUIVALENT COURSE that provides
information on issues and technologies needed to design, implement, and
manage an effective preservation program for documents, books,
photographs, and other paper-based materials, as well as digital
collections. MANAGING PRESERVATION guides the student through a full
preservation assessment of their institution as well as providing the
framework for writing an institutional disaster plan. Each session
consists of lectures, discussions, and small group exercises. The
Managing Preservation blog offers a forum for continued discussion
between seminars. 
  
WHO SHOULD ATTEND? 
Managing Preservation is tailored to full-time librarians, archivists,
town clerks, curators, and collections or records managers who have (at
least) part-time responsibility for preservation of historical or
special collections or of primary research materials, including: books,
manuscripts, records, photographs, ephemera, maps, other paper-based or
documentary formats, audiovisual materials, and digital collections.
