ALCTS webinar: Archival 101: Dealing with Suppliers of Archival Products
Date: April 25, 2013
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
Do you need to purchase archival supplies for your organization or even yourself?
Are you confused by the terminology and not sure about the differences between the various vendors?
Not finding exactly what you are looking for and unsure about adapting different products?
Archival
101 is designed to demystify the archival product market for the
layperson and non-preservation specialist. The presentation will provide
an overview of the conservation and preservation issues facing
libraries, cultural organizations, and individuals; describe the
terminology in use; discuss products and offer buying tips on the
different ways these can be used. A list of links to other resources
will also be provided.
Who
should attend? Archival 101 is designed for individuals with little or
no experience and will also provide the more experienced user with
helpful hints.
Presenter: Peter D. Verheyen, Head of Preservation and Conservation at Syracuse University.
After
beginning as work-study in preservation under John Dean at Johns
Hopkins, Verheyen studied binding and conservation in Germany and
Switzerland to become a rare book conservator working in private
practice and research library preservation programs. He established the
conservation lab at Syracuse for the treatment of special collections
materials, and developed a high-density system for storing architectural
drawings among other things.
The
Archival 101 presentation was originally developed for call center
staff at Gaylord Bros. when he worked there as Archival Product Manager.
It has since been presented regionally to varying audiences.
