UI Libraries Helps Teach Preservation Of Cultural Materials<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several University of Iowa librarians will help document managers from across Iowa learn how to preserve important papers and materials in a series of lectures and workshops offered by the Iowa Conservation and Preservation Consortium.<\/p>\n

The program, titled “Preservation 101,” is designed for archivists, conservators, county clerks, curators, genealogists, librarians, museum workers, registrars, volunteers, and anyone else who cares about conserving and preserving our cultural heritage. Six lectures will be offered via the Iowa Communications Network (ICN), along with three hands-on practicum workshops. The first two sessions will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. April 2 and May 22 at 18 ICN sites.<\/p>\n

The April 2 session will focus on preservation considerations and cautions about paper, ink, adhesives, and leather. The May 22 session will cover photographic, reprographic and printing processes. The training program is projected to conclude in June 2004.<\/p>\n

University of Iowa Libraries’ Nancy E Kraft, head of the Preservation Department and Conservation Unit, is directing the preservation training program. UI Libraries Conservator Gary Frost and UI Libraries Assistant Conservator Kristin Baum, along with Iowa State University Library Conservator Ivan Hanthorn, will teach the first session. Henry Wilhelm of Grinnell, Iowa, one of the world’s leading authorities on the preservation of color photographic images, will teach the May session.<\/p>\n

Preservation 101 is sponsored by the Iowa Conservation and Preservation Consortium (ICPC), a membership organization seeking to initiate, encourage, and enhance preservation and conservation activities by providing basic preservation education and training. Funding for developing the preservation training program was partially supported through funding from the Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) act through a Historical Resource Development Program (REAP\/HRDP) grant from the State Historical Society of Iowa.<\/p>\n

Each ICN session registration fee is $20. Discounts are available for groups, multiple sessions, and ICPC members. Request a registration form by contacting Nancy E Kraft, ICPC, University Libraries, 100 Main Library, Iowa City, IA 52242-1420 or 319-335-5286 or at ICPC website http:\/\/web.grinnell.edu\/individuals\/stuhrr\/icpc\/icpc.html<\/p>\n
