Camp will take place July 31 - August 1 at the Holiday Inn Worthington.

Both practical and tactical, the preservation boot camp will be a
focused, educational event which will bring together the best
practitioners in the state to showcase Ohio best practices.   Sessions
will address key preservation issues, including environmental controls,
demonstrations for disaster recovery, collections care, and digital
collection basics. Sessions will include "How to Build Your Preservation
Program"  conducted by Wes Boomgaarden, Head of the Preservation &
Reformatting Department at The Ohio State University Libraries and Laura

for Art & Historic Artifacts and a "Preservation Program Basics" with

University of Cincinnati Libraries, Kathy Lechuga, Conservator,
University of Cincinnati Libraries, Jennifer Souers Chevraux, Education
Outreach Officer,  Intermuseum Conservation Association, and Christine
Shearer, Development Director, Canton Art Museum.  Breakout sessions
include "Collections Care" with Alexandra Nicolis Coon, Executive
Director, Massillon Museum of Art and Jun Fransicso, Director of
Collections, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and
"Digitization/Digital Preservation Basics" with Janet Carleton, Digital
Initiatives Coordinator, Ohio University Libraries, Laurie Gemmill Arp,
Mass Digitization Program Manager, LYRASIS, and Jillian Carney, Manager,
Digital Services, Ohio Historical Society.

The event will bring together teams comprised of museum/history staff
and library staff as a means of encouraging collaboration and shared
problem-solving.  Attendees will be asked to provide outreach and
information to other cultural organizations in their home areas
following the Boot Camp.
