STASHc editorial committee is pleased to announce that the SPNHC 32nd Annual
Meeting in Denver, CO will include a STASH Flash session on Friday, June 23.
The session will begin with an introduction to <i>Preventive Conservation: Collection Storage</i>, a new volume edited by
Lisa Elkin and Christopher Norris (expected publication summer 2017) that is a
joint venture between SPNHC, the American Institute for Conservation (AIC),
Smithsonian Institution and The George Washington University. The session will
then focus on best practices for collections housing, using the STASHc website
(<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.stashc.com&d=CwMFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=n1B3zfABtonCQWXnAbCUej-ce4Cj451Gp45KcMWinSI&s=21BSkOkA3O76eVK2ciR8rNo8qX1r_nBMJXmZpCRh6H0&e=">www.stashc.com</a>) to illustrate the connection between foundational concepts
covered in the book and examples of best practice. <span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"times new roman",serif">• Storage mounts or support systems
that demonstrate ingenuity and utility. </span><span style="font-family:"times new roman",serif;font-size:12pt">These can be
scenarios related to disaster preparedness, impacts of changing regulations,
moving collections, new solutions to old problems, public access to
collections, sustainability, use of new materials, or digitization of
collections.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"times new roman",serif;font-size:12pt">• Multi-function supports serving more
than one purpose, such as storage, examination, travel, and/or exhibition
purposes. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"times new roman",serif;font-size:12pt">• Innovative storage solutions for
individual or collection groups that do not conform to either theme will be
accepted if space allows.</span></p>
