Preservation Wkshp Openings



Managing Preservation:
A Series of Five Coordinated Workshops
Presented by the Northeast Document Conservation Center

REGISTRATION DEADLINE EXTENDED!
APPLICATIONS WILL NOW BE ACCEPTED THROUGH JULY 31st


 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.

Curriculum and Schedule:
  September 11-13, 2002  Fundamentals of Preservation
  December 11-13, 2002  Collections Maintenance
  March 26-28, 2003  Emergency Preparedness
  June 5-6, 2003   Preservation Technologies

Service; Lori Foley, NEDCC's Field Service Representative; Jane Hedberg,

 The cost of the full series is $600.  Each participant is expected
to attend all sessions.  Lunches will be provided.  Transportation,
lodging, and other meals are the responsibility of participants.  Full
payment is required upon notification of acceptance.  All sessions will be
