[OPLINLIST] Connecting to Collections Regional Meetings - Still Time to Register

[Marsha McDevitt-Stredney]

Please excuse multiple postings...

 

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) created the
Connecting to Collections initiative to raise awareness about the risk
to America's cultural heritage and to prompt action for its preservation
and conservation.

 

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.  The Ohio Connecting to
Collections program included a web-based survey, a Summit Meeting of
cultural heritage leaders from around the state and the next step is
regional meetings to be held in July 2010.  The culmination of the
program will be the development of the Ohio Cultural Heritage Strategic
Plan.  

The Partners invite all interest persons to attend one of the regional
meetings.  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.
