a collaborative effort of the State Library of Ohio and the Ohio Historical
Society, with project support from the Intermuseum Conservation
Association. The Ohio Connecting to Collections program included a
web-based survey, a Summit Meeting of cultural heritage leaders from around the
state and the next step is regional meetings to be held in July 2010. The
culmination of the program will be the development of the Ohio Cultural
Heritage Strategic Plan. </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

persons to attend one of the regional meetings. The goal of the regional
meetings is twofold. It will provide the Partners another way to obtain
feedback from Ohio’s cultural heritage institutions on the future direction
of preservation in the State of Ohio. And, half the day will be an
educational program for preservation and conservation practitioners.
