North Carolina Preservation Consortium

The North Carolina Preservation Consortium (NCPC) is an independent,
not-for-profit organization whose role is to coordinate preservation
activities for libraries, archives, and related organizations in the
state.  The organization was created as a result of a 1990 NEH grant
for statewide preservation planning and has been offering workshops,
publications and other services since 1991.

NCPC has recently begun a strategic planning project funded by an
LSCA Title III grant from the North Carolina State Library.  The
purpose of the project is to assist the NCPC board of directors and
other key stakeholders as they examine ways to secure the
organization's future.  A special Web site has been created to
support the goals of the project. It is located at:

    **** Moderator's comments:   There is a link to this resource
    from the Organizations page in CoOL

In addition to background information on NCPC and the strategic
planning project, the site also includes a WebBoard Conference that
will allow anyone interested in NCPC's future, or in statewide
preservation projects in general, to join the discussion.

"Web conferencing" allows anyone with an Internet connection and a
Web browser to participate in online discussions by reading messages
posted by other members of the conference and responding with their
own messages. Instructions for using the conference are included on
the NCPC Strategic Planning Project home page.

NCPC member or not, we would like to hear from you.  Do you have any
ideas about NCPC's future directions and activities? Its programs
and services? Are you concerned with the preservation of documentary
heritage?  Do you have any ideas how statewide preservation programs
can operate more effectively?  If so, then feel free to join the
discussion.
