*** Apologies for cross posting *** Every year Heritage Preservation encourages libraries, museums, archives, historical societies, and preservation organizations to set aside May 1 to participate in MayDay. This year, make sure your institution is prepared! Any cultural institution submitting a brief description of its 2014 MayDay plans or accomplishments by May 31, 2014, will be entered in a drawing for disaster supplies donated by Gaylord Brothers. Heritage Preservation is now offering its award-winning *Field Guide to Emergency Response *and *Emergency Response and Salvage Wheel* at special MayDay prices through May 31. David Carmicheal's book *Implementing the Incident Command System at the Institutional Level* is also discounted in celebration of MayDay. Join us on the Connecting to Collections Online Community, http://www.connectingtocollections.org/ics/, on Thursday, April 17, at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern), when David will present a free, hour-long webinar - *The Supercharged Management System: Applying the Incident Command System in Cultural Repositories*. For project ideas, information on prizes, and the book sale, visit Heritage Preservation's MayDay site, www.heritagepreservation.org/mayday. Polygon Group is the proud sponsor of MayDay 2014. The Society of American Archivists (SAA) created the MayDay initiative in 2006 and promoted the idea to its members and allied organizations. The following year, the Heritage Emergency National Task Force and SAA expanded the concept to include all kinds of collecting institutions and historic preservation interests. -- *Jessica Unger **| *Program Assistant, Emergency Programs *Heritage Preservation **| *t 202-233-0835 *| *f 202-233-0807 1012 14th Street NW *| *Suite 1200 *| *Washington, DC 20005 www.heritagepreservation.org *| *[log in to unmask]<http:[log in to unmask]> ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
