Yale Preservation Lecture

The seventh in a series of preservation lectures is planned for 3:30
pm on May 5, 2016 at the new Yale University Library Center for
Preservation and Conservation, 344 Winchester Ave, New Haven, CT.
The lecture is sponsored through a gift of Jack '47 and Betsy
O'Neill.

This year's lecture is a panel of four conservators discussing:
Before and After: Experiences from Newly Built and Renovated
Conservation Laboratories.  The discussion will include what is
taken into consideration when designing a conservation laboratory:
Besides the materials that are to be treated in the lab, how does
geographic locations/external adjacencies affect the work?  And how
does the space help or hinder outreach and working relationships
with colleagues across the Library?  Answers to these and other
related issues may be of interest to collection managers and
curators.  It is also an opportunity to talk with conservators from
other institutions.

Our panel on May 5, 2016 will be:

    Beth Doyle
    Head of Conservation Services Department
    Leona B. Carpenter Senior Conservator
    Duke University Libraries

    Eliza Gilligan
    Book Conservator for University Library Collections
    University of Virginia Library

    Jennifer Hain Teper
    Bud Velde Preservation Librarian, Head of Preservation
    University of Illinois Libraries

    Christine McCarthy
    Chief Conservator, Conservation and Exhibition
    Services
    Preservation Department, Yale University Library

There will be an Open House of the preservation facilities prior to
the lecture, from 1:30 - 3:30pm.  All are welcome.

A reception immediately following the lecture will be held in the
lounge at 344 Winchester Ave.
