Fourteen states presented their projects and discussed regional approaches to improving collections care, innovative methods for conducting disaster drills, replicable tools developed through <em><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Connecting to Collections</span></em> grants, and effective outreach programs that are reaching the smallest and most far-flung museums and libraries.
