Webinars on sustainable preservation practices

The Image Permanence Institute is presented a series of free
webinars for collections care and facilities staff in cultural
institutions is designed to enable collections care and facilities
staff in cultural institutions to work together to achieve an
optimal preservation environment-one that combines the best possible
preservation of collections with the least possible consumption of
energy, and is sustainable over time. This series is funded by the
National Endowment for the Humanities Education and Training grant
program.

Webinar presentations will focus on broad environmental challenges
and provide useful and effective suggestions for dealing with them.
Webinars will be presented by IPI staff unless noted otherwise. Each
webinar will be presented on a Wednesday from 2:00 to 3:30 Eastern
Standard Time. You can get additional details and register for
