Subject: [OPC List] "Preserving Our Cultural Heritage"
Inaugural Program<br><br>
</font><font face="verdana" size=1>The
<a href="http://opc.ohionet.org/">Ohio Preservation Council</a> and the
<a href="http://www.ica-artconservation.org/">Intermuseum Conservation
Association</a> have developed a <b>FREE</b> statewide preservation
outreach initiative called “Preserving Our Cultural Heritage.” Anyone who
owns or is responsible for a collection will benefit from attending. This
includes individuals as well as staff and volunteers of museums,
libraries and archives, churches, government agencies, non-profit
organizations, clubs, etc. This program will be traveling across Ohio,
and will also be available on demand, all free of charge. Topics to be
covered in every session will include:<br><br>
Why should we be concerned about our collections?<br><br>
What is preservation and why is it so important?<br><br>
What's the difference between preservation and conservation?<br><br>
What kind of supplies should I be using to preserve my
collections?<br><br>
How do I prepare for a possible disaster? What do I do if a disaster
occurs?<br><br>
What Internet and published resources are available to help me?<br><br>
How do I pay for all of this?!<br><br>
