Each year, we participate in Preservation Week<\/a> sponsored by Core: Leadership, Infrastructure, Futures<\/a> with the objective to inspire action “to preserve personal, family, and community collections in addition to library, museum, and archive collections.” Preservation Week offers us a time to annually share the work we do with preserving local history and culture, but it also allows us to support our community in preserving their own collections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ways we assist with preserving historical and cultural materials is by offering our Preservation Workshop series, special programs on various conservation and and preservation topics, and blog posts on techniques or project we had completed to preserve our collections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
