Workshop on disaster planning

Disaster Planning for Public Libraries
North Carolina Museum of Art
2110 Blue Ridge Road
Raleigh, NC
February 7, 2001
9:30 AM - 3:30 PM

Sponsored by:
    The North Carolina Preservation Consortium
    The North Carolina Museum of Art
    The North Carolina Library Association Public Library Section

When disaster strikes will you be ready? Floods, fires, mold,
vandalism and other catastrophes can and do strike at any time.
Local history and genealogy collections may be irreplaceable.  Core
reference and general circulating titles are often out of print.
Replacing damaged items will consume financial and human resources
diverted from the acquisition of new material. Having a written
disaster plan to limit and reduce the loss of collections is an
accountable measure of responsible stewardship of cultural assets.
Designed for personnel in public libraries, this workshop offers
instruction and advise in crafting disaster preparedness plans and
procedures.

Instructors:

    Winston Atkins, Preservation Officer
    Duke University

    Andrew Hart
    Preservation Librarian, University of North Carolina at Chapel
    Hill
