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 virtually through pre-recorded talks that attendees will move through self-directed, between the dates of June 2nd and June 23rd.  The class is modeled after the previous in-person half-day class<https://ohiopreservationcouncil.org/event-3598730>.

By completing the modules, attendees will gain 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 reach out to speakers with questions, inquiries about the grant, and for informal discussions about selecting objects for treatment.

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, however, there is no limit as to the number of participants within each institution. Applicants must complete the online class prior to submission; only those institutions that have completed the online class will be eligible for the LSTA Ohio Conservation Grant.

Registration will open the first week of May 2021 on the State Library's training calendar.  Additional information and the grant RFP will be also be available at that time.
