Eric (Bill) Voss, library assistant in the University of Iowa Libraries Preservation Department, has received a $500 scholarship from The Iowa Conservation and Preservation Consortium (ICPC).

Voss will use the scholarships for a class on the “Care of Oversize Paper Artifacts” at the Campbell Center for Historic Preservation Studies.  As part of his application, Voss noted that “our library collections contain a great many oversized paper artifacts. This course will improve the skills necessary for my work as a Preservation Assistant in the care and handling and treatment of physical artifacts.”

The Campbell Center, located in Mt. Carroll, Illinois, offers courses in Historic Preservation, Collections Care and Conservation Refresher courses.
