This workshop will be presented in five different locations. Registration deadline for each workshop is two weeks before workshop date.
Thoughtful preparation for an emergency or disaster is one of the most important steps a cultural institution can take to safeguard collections. This program will increase practical knowledge through hands-on salvage of a simulated disaster. Participants will use the Incident Command System while learning to salvage a variety of archival and library materials, including paper, photographs, audio-visual media, and books. Personal safety, initial site assessment, object triage and tracking, and post-disaster debriefing will be addressed. Participants will also learn about resources and services offered by local and regional emergency management agencies. Participants at all levels are welcome.
Presenters:
Amelia Parks, DHPSNY Archives Specialist
Gillian Marcus, DHPSNY Preservation Specialist
Time: 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM
