Collections Care: Cleaning, Mending, and Housing
September 11, 2013 |
Volunteers and staff of libraries, archives, and museum, as well as collectors of historic items, are invited to attend upcoming workshops presented as part of the state’s Connecting to Collections project. The day-long workshops will take place in Baker City, Florence, McMinnville, Medford, Pendleton, Philomath and Portland.
The first workshop, “Collections Care: Cleaning, Mending, and Housing,” will present basic and advanced information on caring for historical items that are found in libraries, museums and archives. Randy Silverman, preservation librarian at the University of Utah, will be the presenter.
The second workshop, “Disaster Response and Recovery,” will deal with how libraries, museums, and archives can best recover from a flood, fire, or other disaster that damages or destroys historical materials. The presenter will be Kris Kern from the Portland State University library.
While the workshops are free, pre-registration is required. You can register online at www.oregonheritage.org after Aug. 7.
The Connecting to Collections project is administered by the Oregon Heritage Commission. The Connecting to Collections project is funded in part by a grant from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services.
