Dear Colleagues,

The State Library of Ohio is pleased to be working again with the Ohio Preservation Council (OPC) on a Special Collections Conservation Care class.  This professional development opportunity will take place at the State Library of Ohio, June 14, 2018 from 9:30 am -12:30 pm.  Attendees will leave with an understanding of the criteria for selecting materials for conservation/preservation, basic evaluation considerations, how to find and work with a conservator, contracts and insurance and treatment documentation.  Participants are encouraged to bring actual materials they are considering having conserved for an informal discussion about the range of treatment possibilities they might encounter.

Those attending the class will be eligible to apply for an LSTA grant of up to $4,999 to conserve one or more items from their collection.  Attendance is limited to 20 institutions.

Registration will open the first week of April 2018 on the State Library's training calendar.  Additional information and the grant RFP will be also be available at that time.
