[Carleton, Janet]

Subj:  Reminder:  Sample plans and policies related to preservation activities needed by October 31

The State Library of Ohio, Ohio Museums Association, and Ohio Historical Society, to continue their successful 2009-2011 "Connecting to Collections" project, are developing a website which will highlight the best preservation practices in the state and will serve as models for other organizations in the process of developing or revising their policies We are interested in receiving policies dealing with the following preservation functions for possible posting on the website.

Please submit your policies in these areas for inclusion on the website:

*        Mission Statements which recognize the importance of preservation

*        Strategic Plans which include preservation activities

*        Disaster Preparedness and Recovery Plans

*        Environmental Control Policies, including information about "going green"

*        Security Plans or Policies

*        Exhibit Policies which deal with preservation of the exhibited materials
We are looking for excellent examples from all types of cultural heritage organizations - libraries, archives, historical societies and museums of all sizes.

As the project expands, there will be calls for other types of preservation policies.

Please submit links or Word copies of these policies to Missy Lodge, State Library of Ohio, for consideration. The State Library and a Project Advisory Group will select sample policies for each area of preservation practice mentioned above for the project website.    Policies should be submitted to MLODGE at library.ohio.gov<mailto:MLODGE at library.ohio.gov> by October 31, 2011.

The Connecting to Collections project partners are proud of the preservation programs in Ohio's cultural heritage institutions, and want to spotlight best practices so that other organizations in the state and across the country can learn from our good practices!
