The fourth annual Preservation Week (April 21-27, 2013) happens across the country at academic, public and special libraries. Activities include lectures, presentations, demonstrations and workshops, as well as three free Preservation Week-sponsored webinars.
New
for Preservation Week 2013: a preservation advice column – Dear
Donia. What “Dear Abby” was to personal relationships, Dear Donia will be
for all your preservation conundrums!
How do I store my grandfather’s letters home from the front?
What should I do to preserve my family color snapshots that are fading?
How can I preserve my child’s baby quilt made by her great-grandmother?
To launch the column on Friday, April 26 at 11 am EST, Donia Conn will host a one hour live chat to help answer your preservation questions. In the meantime, feel free to send Donia questions via the Preservation Week’s Facebook page.
If you are interested in quick tips to get started with your own heirlooms, start here. If videos are are in order, several are available here, from cockroach invasions to water damage.

Recognizing
the critical role libraries play in preservation, the Association for Library
Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) in partnership with the Library of
Congress and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, is proud to bring
Preservation Week to libraries across the country. This national awareness
campaign was developed to promote the understanding and importance of care for
personal and community cultural heritage collections, such as books, documents,
photographs, textiles, paintings, sculptures, furniture and decorative arts. ALCTS
is a division of the American Library Association.
