preservation project that is providing information, education, and training
to California heritage institutions. For additional information about the C3

Creating and Funding Preservation Projects to Enhance Collections Care Many
institutions have used grant-funded projects to enhance the level of care
they can provide for their collections, and sometimes even to jump start
their preservation programs. By the end of this one-day workshop,
participants will have outlined a preservation project proposal specific to
their institution, identified possible funding sources, and tested their
ideas with other workshop participants. Locations and dates:
Sacramento - March 23, 2012

top exercise, explore how collaborations can help you respond to a disaster
and build a shared vision for regional disaster preparedness. NEW Location
and date:
San Francisco - April 16, 2012
