<p>Learning to Preserve Valuable Collections Using Basic Enclosures</p><p><span><span>Friday, October 11th, 2013 10:00am -3:30pm</span></span></p><p>Ohio University – Athens, Ohio</p>
<p>Taught by Miriam Nelson, Head of Preservation, Ohio University Libraries</p><p>Registration: $35</p><p>Properly
constructed, the most basic enclosures can provide multifaceted
protection from many of the threats to your collections. Enclosures
provide protection against a fluctuating environment and the damaging
effects of UV light; they create protective support during storage and
transportation; with good design enclosures can encourage safe handling
of fragile collections. Participants in this introductory level workshop
will learn to construct 3 types of custom enclosures all of which can
be reproduced with minimal equipment, tools and space. We will also
discuss the preservation principles that will allow you to select
material in the context of your institution. No previous experience
necessary.</p><p>Participants
who complete this introductory workshop will have the competency to
create basic protective enclosures for a wide range of paper-based
materials (books, pamphlets and papers). Participants will be a given a
list of supplies and sources to acquire the needed tools and supplies
to institute their own enclosure-making programs. </p>To register, follow the instruction here: <a href="http://opc.wildapricot.org/events?eventId=744218&EventViewMode=EventRegistration" target="_blank">http://opc.wildapricot.org/events?eventId=744218&EventViewMode=EventRegistration</a><div class="">
