cross-posting):


***CARING FOR SCRAPBOOKS***
Date: Wednesday, July 16, 2008
Place and Time: Live Online Class, 10 am to 12 pm

This two-hour class will explore the materials and techniques used,
discuss the biggest preservation challenges, and outline proper storage
and handling to preserve them for future generations. While the focus is
on older scrapbook collections, many of the same issues apply to
scrapbooks being created today.

Price: $100.00 for SOLINET members, $150.00 for non-members; early bird
discounts and late fees apply. 


***PRESERVATION OF PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS***
Date: Thursday, July 17, 2008
Place and Time: Live Online Class, 2 pm to 4 pm

Photographic materials present significant preservation concerns in
library and archival collections. They are often heavily used and are
fragile and susceptible to damage due to improper handling and storage
conditions.  Visual examples of photographic processes and deteriorated
photographs will be identified and discussed.

Price: $100.00 for SOLINET members, $150.00 for non-members; early bird
discounts and late fees apply.
