[OPLINLIST] Invitation to Connecting to Collections Regional Meetings

[Marsha McDevitt-Stredney]

Please excuse multiple postings...

The Ohio Heritage Partnership is a collaborative effort of the State
Library of Ohio and the Ohio Historical Society, with project support
from the Intermuseum Conservation Association and is funded by an
Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Connecting to
Collections Statewide Preservation Planning Grant.

In January 2010, the Connecting to Collections survey was distributed to
over 800 institutions statewide responsible for preserving Ohio's
cultural heritage.  This was followed by the Ohio Connecting to
Collections Summit held on May 7 in Columbus.  As the Partners develop
the Ohio Cultural Heritage Strategic Plan, regional meetings are being
held around the state.  The goal of the regional meetings is twofold.
It will provide the Partners another way to obtain feedback from Ohio's
cultural heritage institutions on the future direction of preservation
in the State of Ohio.  And, half the day will be an educational program
for preservation and conservation practitioners.
