[Heather Galloway]

Sign up for the next Connecting to Collections Care webinar, Preservation
Metrics Today: Heritage Health Information and Preservation Statistics.
It’s free!

Now more than ever, data drives decisions: Which projects should be funded?
Where is staff needed? What activities should take priority over others?
How can you find the data to help when you are looking for funding or
trying to persuade your community or legislators to provide funds for
collections care in you museum, historical society or library? Collections
care is an ongoing process and the need for caring for collections doesn’t
go away when times are lean. Having your specific needs spelled out can
help you make a persuasive argument for future funding.

The Heritage Health Information <http://www.heritagepreservation.org/HHI/> and
the Preservation Statistics
<http://www.ala.org/alcts/resources/preservation/presstats> programs are
both dedicated to collecting and analyzing the information on care for our
collections in the broadest sense and they are the go-to programs for the
data you need.

This webinar will give you the chance to learn more about these programs
and to learn about how you might use the information they provide for your
own situations. It will also help you to address StEPs MVG Standards 3 and
4.
