[SOA] Invitation: Ohio Preservation Council Virtual Meet & Greet - November 12th, 2026

[Figueirinhas, Catarina (figueica)]

Dear Colleagues,

My name is Catarina Figueirinhas, I am an Assistant Conservator at the University of Cincinnati and Co-chair of Education and Programming for the Ohio Preservation Council.

The Ohio Preservation Council (OPC)<https://ohiopreservationcouncil.org/> invites you to join us for a virtual "Getting to Know OPC" Meet & Greet as part of our November meeting.

This informal session is designed especially for colleagues from historical societies, libraries, museums, archives, and other cultural heritage organizations who may be interested in learning more about preservation resources and connecting with others doing similar work. You do not need to be a current OPC member to attend.

During the session, we will introduce OPC and share more about:

  *   Who we are and the organizations and professionals we serve
  *   Preservation resources and grant opportunities available to members and non-members
  *   Professional development grants and educational programming opportunities
  *   Ways to connect with colleagues and seek advice about preservation challenges
  *   Opportunities to become involved in OPC, including interest groups and leadership roles

Whether you are responsible for preservation as a primary part of your job or simply find yourself caring for collections without extensive preservation training, we hope this will be a welcoming opportunity to learn about OPC, meet colleagues from across Ohio, and discover resources that may be useful to your institution.

Date: November 12th, 2026
Time: 10am
Location: Virtual Meeting via Zoom<https://ucincinnati.zoom.us/j/85669906920>
Registration Required: Register on OPC's website<https://ohiopreservationcouncil.org/event-6869687>
