Managing
Preservation:
A Series of Five Coordinated
Workshops
If your institution has had a preservation planning survey and is ready
to take the next step, if it has not yet developed a systematic preservation
program, if it needs to make the current program more effective, or if you feel
the need for additional preservation education, NEDCC has designed a program
just for you. The cycle of
workshops is designed to provide systematic preservation training to staff of
small to mid-sized museums, historical organizations, archives, libraries, and
records repositories. As a series,
the workshops will provide the information needed to design, implement, and
maintain an effective preservation program for documents, books, photographs,
and other paper-based materials.
The program is designed for the full-time professional with part-time
preservation responsibilities.
Institutions may be small to mid-sized archives, museums, historical
organizations, records repositories, or public, academic, or special libraries
with paper-based materials of enduring value for research. The series is not designed to address
the specific needs of general circulating collections or large academic research
libraries.
