Emergency manual

This is both an announcement and a thank you. Museums Alberta would
like to thank Walter Henry for posting our Call for Submissions for
an emergency manual last year and for all those of you who replied.
We were overwhelmed by the response both from the 25 contributing
authors and the many reviewers. We are pleased to announce that
Help! A Survivor's Guide to Emergency Preparedness is now available.

The publication is a collection of guidelines, tips and case studies
written from the authors' experience. It is intended to help
museums, archives and galleries to prepare for, respond to, and
recover from emergencies. Each 3-ring binder also includes an
"Emergency Response and Salvage Wheel" from the National Task Force
and a copy of Betty Walsh's "Salvage at a Glance" wall chart on
waterproof paper.

Thanks to grant funding from the Department of Canadian Heritage's
Museums Assistance Program, Museums Alberta is able to sell the
publication at a subsidized rate of $30 for Museums Alberta members,
$40 for non-members and $25 for 5 or more copies, plus shipping
(note: Canadian dollars). For more information, contact the Museums
Alberta office by phone at 780-424-2626 or by e-mail at
