As preservation manager for the College of Wooster, [Sue] Dunlap spends most of her day repairing library books to make sure they remain on the shelves for years to come.
But she doesn't stop there. As chairwoman of the Ohio Preservation Council, she leads a group of conservationists dedicated to maintaining the state's historical resources, including books, artifacts and documents.
On Thursday in Columbus, the council will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a symposium about paper.

Members of the council bring a variety of experience to the table, Hayes said. Some, such as Dunlap, work mainly with books, and others work with textiles, artwork or documents.
Regardless of expertise, all members are dedicated to preserving original artifacts, she said.
"If we can digitize something, that's great, but if we can, we want to preserve the original," Hayes said. "We don't ever know how long the current digital format will last."

"We have to take care of our paper records," said Ed Vermue, a member of the council who helped plan the symposium.
