Free Classes from Amigos for Preservation Week
President Obama once wrote, "Part of America's genius has always been its ability to absorb newcomers, to forge a national identity out of the disparate lot that arrived on our shores." The memories and treasures of individuals, families, and communities are essential to the record of this process. They contribute to our understanding of history and its participants just as collections in libraries, museums, and archives do. Preservation Week, "Pass It On!" will take place April 22 - 26 for local institutions across the country to celebrate with preservation-themed events in their own communities.
Sponsored by the American Library Association and partners that include the Library of Congress, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, The American Institute for Conservation, Heritage Preservation, and the Society of American Archivists, Preservation Week will highlight collections of all kinds, and suggest simple steps to help you make sure your treasures and memories last a lifetime and are passed on to future generations.
Amigos Imaging and Preservation Field Service (IPS) will be offering a series of free webinars to celebrate Preservation Week. Each one-hour webinar will focus on a different preservation topic. "These webinars will give a brief overview of a topic but more importantly, they connect people to the services that the Imaging & Preservation Service can provide to others," says Gina Minks, IPS Manager. "I hope everyone takes advantage of this opportunity!"
