Protecting Cultural Collections: Disaster Prevention, Preparedness, Response
and Recovery The Heritage Health Index determined that most collecting
institutions need an emergency or disaster response plan that includes
collections, and staff trained to carry it out. Attend the interactive
2-part workshop "Protecting Cultural Collections" and walk away with the
tools you need. Final workshop in Santa Rosa will begin soon, so sign up

NEW! Creating and Funding Preservation Projects to Enhance Collection Care
Do you want to get a preservation grant to take care of your collections?
Many institutions have used grant-funded projects to enhance the level of
care they can provide for their collections, and sometimes even to jump
start their preservation programs. By the end of the one-day workshop,
participants will have outlined a preservation project proposal specific to
their institution, identified possible funding sources, and tested their
ideas with other workshop participants. Training locations include Los
Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Sacramento. LEARN MORE
