2019 Joint Conference ILA/NLA/NSLA

Librarians without formal training in preservation are often responsible for managing unique, one-of-a-kind manuscripts and/or photographs that are of value to their communities. This session will provide information to those who have unique materials in their care and want to learn more about making them accessible and preserving them. How do you keep fragile materials safe? How do you keep them organized? How do you make them available? Learn how to manage and preserve materials and how best to balance archival theory with local best practices.
