North Carolina Preservation Consortium
 2006 Annual Conference

Greensboro Public Library
November 17, 2006
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Collection institutions have a
responsibility to follow sound conservation policies and practices to ensure
the survival of material for use and exhibition.  A Public Trust
at Risk: the Heritage Health Index Report on the State of America’s Collections,
published by Heritage Preservation in partnership with the Institute of
Museum and Library Services, reveals that millions of items are
in urgent need of treatment by a professional conservator.  The North
Carolina Preservation Consortium 2006 Annual Conference will address the
conservation of books, manuscripts, and paper documents in our State’s
libraries, archives, museums, historic sites, and records centers.  Institutions
with a conservator on staff and those that outsource to conservation centers
or conservators in private practice will benefit from this program.  The
loss of intellectual and cultural heritage hinders education, research,
life long learning, heritage tourism, and the diversity of discovery.  Learn
how to select material for conservation and prioritize collection care
using limited resources effectively.  Personnel performing, managing,
or advocating for the conservation of collections are encouraged to attend
this conference.  Students in library and information science, archives,
public history, museum, and conservation graduate schools are also welcome.

The North Carolina Preservation
Consortium (NCPC) is dedicated to the preservation of educational, cultural,
historical, and research collections in our state's libraries, archives,
museums, historic sites, and records centers. NCPC also informs the general
public about preservation to safeguard private collections and family treasures.
Our preservation mission addresses the proper care and handling of materials;
storage and environmental control; disaster preparedness and recovery;
the repair, reformatting and conservation of damaged items; and collection
security. NCPC supports the preservation of information content, and the
medium as artifact, in new and traditional formats for present and future
generations. 

We would like to welcome your institution
to the preservation consortium. Our minimum annual membership fee is only
$100.00. Higher levels of support are voluntary. Benefits of NCPC membership
include discounts on our continuing education workshops and annual conference.
Employees of institutional members are eligible to hold leadership positions
on the consortium's board of directors, committees, and task groups. Member
institutions are recognized for their contributions on our Web site. The
success of our state wide preservation program depends on the talents,
