Meeting on Oregon preservation planning

Connecting to Collections (C2C)

Free focus groups in Medford, Bend, and Pendleton, Oregon

Worried about preserving your heritage collection?
Please attend one of three free meetings being held in

    Medford
    September 13, 2010

    Bend
    September 14, 2010

    Pendleton
    September 28, 2010

We need your input to make a successful plan for preservation in
Oregon. These meetings are sponsored and endorsed by many museum,
library, and archival organizations: the leadership for this project
is listed at the end of this email message.

By attending one of these meetings you can help the heritage
community--archives, libraries, and museums...plan a better future
for Oregon's heritage collections.  A grant from the federal
Institute for Museums and Library Services (IMLS) to the Oregon
Museum Association on behalf of archive, library, and museum
partners throughout Oregon is making it possible for us to take
stock of our preservation, training, and disaster preparedness
needs.  From this a statewide preservation plan to address those
needs will be developed.  The plan is a necessary first step to
secure funding for future implementation.

Refreshments will be provided.  Please let us know you are coming so
that we can plan adequate seating and refreshments by emailing Ruth
Metz <ruthmetz<-at->spiretech<.>com>.  You may also email your questions to
Ruth Metz.
