The Preservation Management Institute (PMI) is designed to give
those responsible for collection care a grounding in the range of
preservation issues, technologies, and management strategies to
advance a preservation program. PMI includes three week-long
sessions held in central New Jersey at the New Brunswick Hyatt at
Rutgers University's New Brunswick campus:

    Session I: October 11 - 15, 2010
    Session II: March 21 - 25, 2011
    Session III: October 10 - 14, 2011

In-between the three weeks of classes, participants conduct guided
preservation planning activities for their home institutions,
including conducting a preservation survey and drafting a disaster
plan. Our instructors are among the most respected professionals in
the field today and are led by Evelyn Frangakis, Chief Librarian for
Preservation of The New York Public Library. Enrollment in the
Institute is strictly limited to 20 people. Participants from 30
states and 3 countries have participated in this program since it
began in 1998. For application/registration information, PMI
curriculum, previous participants' feedback, scholarship details and
