Preservation Week activities at Yale

As part of ALA's Preservation Week the Yale University Library's
Preservation Department is pleased to announce the following
activities:

In Sterling Memorial Library

    "Will It Be There When You Need It?"
    April 24-30, 2011, during normal Library hours

    Description: Located on stack levels 7, 5 and 1MB of the
    Sterling Memorial Library are three different areas where the
    books have been banded in green or orange.  Many of our
    collections materials would be unavailable to readers if not for
    the staff of the Yale University Library Preservation
    Department.  This installation is a visual demonstration of the
    current and future efforts of the Yale Preservation Department:
    those books that have benefited from preservation attention (in
    green) and those books that are still at risk (in orange).

At New Haven Free Public Library located at 133 Elm Street, New
Haven

    "Preserving Your Family Papers"
    April 27, 6pm

    Description: Christine McCarthy, Chief Conservator for the Yale
    University Library will provide information and tips for
    preserving and caring for personal collections of papers,
    photographs and other materials

    "Pop-Up Treasure Map"
    April 28, 4pm

    Description: Come learn about how paper is made and practice
    some paper-folding.  See examples of maps, old and new.  We'll
    learn about map-making terms:  legend, scale, key-and then make
    pop-up treasure maps in their own covers to take home.
