Registration is now open<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/lsta-grants/conservation-and-preservation-grant/#ClassRegistration> for the Ohio Preservation Council (OPC) Special Collections Conservation Care online class.<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/lsta-grants/conservation-and-preservation-grant/#ConservationCareClass>  This professional development opportunity will take place virtually through pre-recorded talks that attendees will move through, self-directed, between the dates of June 1st and June 24th.

Completion of all class modules is a pre-requisite for institutions interested in applying for an LSTA Conservation grant<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/lsta-grants/conservation-and-preservation-grant/#RequestforProposals>.

The class will kick off on June 1st with a live discussion from OPC staff members as well as State Library LSTA staff on how to write a successful LSTA conservation proposal. Attendance is strongly encouraged, though the live kick-off will be recorded for those that cannot attend.  By completing the online self-paced class 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 James DaMico<mailto:james.damico at gmail.com>, OPC representative, with questions, inquiries about the grant, and for informal discussions about selecting objects for treatment.

Institutions that complete the required class modules may apply for the maximum LSTA award amount of $4,999.
Up to 20 institutions may register for the virtual class modules. Please register only one name per institution. State Library staff will contact each registered institution to verify names of potential individual class attendees.

Registration closes Monday, May 24th or when the class is full.
