Coming in May 2010: National Preservation Week @ Your Library

December 8, 2009 21:13

From the Announcement:

Recognizing the critical role libraries play in preservation, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), will sponsor the first national Preservation Week, May 9-15, 2010.

Preservation Week intends to raise awareness of libraries’ role in connecting the general public to preservation information and expertise. Events sponsored by libraries will increase preservation awareness by emphasizing the close relationships among personal, family, community, and public collections and their preservation.

It is the first national awareness campaign targeting collections preservation awareness for the general public by strengthening community partnerships for preservation.

Preservation Week will begin to address the preservation concerns of the valuable collections of individuals, families and collectors by providing Web resources, success stories, and ideas for programs and projects, focusing on libraries as a place for preserving our rich heritage. The Preservation Week Web site will connect librarians with excellent resources already available for those who need specific preservation information. Go to the Preservation Week site at www.ala.org/preservationweek for information and resources.
