Three hundred museum, library, and archive professionals from 41 states and the District of Columbia gathered in Atlanta on January 31 and February 1 for the forum, "Preserving America’s Diverse Heritage," sponsored by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in partnership with Heritage Preservation. This was the first of four meetings around the country held to raise awareness about the nation’s valuable and endangered collections. IMLS, the primary source of federal support for the nation’s museums and libraries, launched the forums as part of the national initiative, Connecting to Collections: A Call to Action. The multi-year, multi-faceted initiative aims to help museums and libraries save their collections from poor storage conditions, pest infestation, and exposure to light, humidity, and high temperatures.
