Learning to Preserve Valuable Collections Using Basic Enclosures

Friday, October 11th, 2013 10:00am -3:30pm

Ohio University – Athens, Ohio

Taught by Miriam Nelson, Head of Preservation, Ohio University Libraries

Registration: $35

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.

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.
