Preservation Education
Libraries, archives and museums deal with the issues and activities surrounding preservation on a regular basis. For preservation to work it is vital that staff and users be educated about preservation. This spring there are a number of events taking place around the state that focus on various aspects of preservation. Nylink will be offering two webinars this spring: Preservation Planning and Disaster Planning. Stay tuned for registration information.
