MANAGING PRESERVATION:
A SERIES OF FIVE COORDINATED WORKSHOPS
Presented by the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC)

******************************************************************
WOULD YOU LIKE TO FURTHER YOUR PRESERVATION EDUCATION? Is your institution 
planning to develop a preservation program or update an existing program? 
Has your institution had a preservation planning survey? Are you now ready 
to take the next step? NEDCC has designed a program just for you.

THE MANAGING PRESERVATION WORKSHOP SERIES IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE 
PRESERVATION TRAINING for staff of small to mid-sized museums, historical 
organizations, archives, libraries, and other records repositories.

THE WORKSHOPS WILL PROVIDE THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO DESIGN, IMPLEMENT, AND 
MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE PRESERVATION PROGRAM for documents, books, 
photographs, and other paper-based materials. Each participant will learn 
how to prepare a basic preservation plan with concrete, realistic goals for 
future activities.

THE PROGRAM IS TAILORED TO FULL-TIME PROFESSIONALS WITH PART-TIME 
PRESERVATION RESPONSIBILITIES. Each session will include pre-workshop 
assignments that will put concepts to practical use and supply information 
for subsequent sessions. Instruction will strongly emphasize decision-making 
and application of information to the participant's institution. Sessions 
will include a combination of lectures, discussion, and small group 
exercises, with some hands-on training.

FACULTY WILL INCLUDE:
Nick Artim, Fire Safety Network; Ernest Conrad, Landmark Facilities Group; 
Jane Cullinane, Connecticut State Library; Peter Fallon, Risk Strategies
