Exhibiting Historic Collections (08/29/18)

Exhibits provide a powerful avenue for outreach and also present opportunities for collection advocacy. Preparing collections for safe exhibition ensures that these materials remain accessible into the future. This webinar will help you understand the risks of exhibition so that you can develop policies and guidelines to mitigate those risks.

Selection for exhibition will be covered, along with space considerations, safe handling, and display methods.

  Virtual Trainer: Frances Harrell, NEDCC

Along with providing training and consultations, Senior Preservation Specialist Frances Harrell serves as the co-chair of the Preservation Outreach Committee at ALA.

She received an MLIS from Simmons College GSLIS and a BA in English Literature from the University of Florida, and has worked in both development and collections management. Frances works remotely from her office in the southeast and is a resource for the region.
