As the Library system’s special
local history collection and archives, we preserve materials in the BDC each
and every day. Our highest priority is to be good stewards of the cultural
heritage materials entrusted to us for the community. Therefore we must be
up-to-date on preservation thought, practices, and techniques. Part
of being a good cultural heritage materials steward is sharing our knowledge
about preservation practices with the community in order to empower you to
better protect your own treasures. Preservation
Week lets us share some general principles of
preservation that can mitigate a host of potential problems. Join me to learn what we can do, individually and together,
to preserve our personal and shared collections.
