Workshop on disasters

Upper Midwest Conservation Association Presents Disaster Response:
Salvaging Museum, Library, and Archival Materials.  A Two-Day
Disaster Workshop Offered Throughout the Midwest.

This workshop is a follow-up to the 2001 workshop: Disaster
Response: The Critical First 48 Hours.  The Disaster Response series
intends to train participants to successfully and safely overcome
disasters to their collections.  This upcoming workshop will focus
on the salvage aspects of disaster response. Participants will work
with objects representing different types of disasters and learn the
hands-on techniques for proper salvage.

Participants from the first workshop in the series are encouraged to
attend. Participants new to the Disaster Response series are also
welcome.  This workshop is designed for anyone who is responsible
for the care of collections, including directors, curators,
registrars, librarians, archivists, preservation administrators, and
