Archival 101: Dealing with Suppliers of Archival Products (Tuesday, May
11, 2010)
Do you need to purchase archival supplies for your organization or even
yourself? Are you confused by the terminology and not sure about what
the differences between the various vendors are? Not finding exactly
what you are looking for and unsure about adapting different products?
Archival 101 is designed to demystify the archival product market for
the layperson and non-preservation specialist. The presentation will
provide an overview of the conservation and preservation issues facing
libraries, cultural organizations, and individuals;, describe the
terminology in use; discuss products and offer buying tips on the
different ways these can be used. A list of links to other resources
will also be provided.
Archival 101 is designed for individuals with little or no experience
and will also provide the more experienced user with helpful hints.
Presented by Peter D. Verheyen, Head of Preservation and Conservation at
Syracuse University. After beginning as work-study in preservation under
John Dean at Johns Hopkins, he studied binding and conservation in and
to become a rare book conservator working in private practice and
research library preservation programs. He established the conservation
lab at Syracuse for the treatment of special collections materials, and
developed a high-density system for storing architectural drawings. In
response to a need for efficient rehousing in anticipation of off-site
storage he introduced Syracuse to the shrink-wrapping of volumes. The
Archival 101 presentation was originally developed for call center staff
at Gaylord Bros. when he worked there as Archival Product Manager. It
has since been presented regionally to varying audiences.

Mold Prevention and Remediation (Thursday, May 13, 2010)
This webinar will introduce participants to the basic types of mold, and
describe the environmental conditions that promote mold growth in home
and library collections. We will discuss prevention as well as
remediation should mold growth occur.
This webinar is geared to participants with little experience, but with
lots of questions and concerns.
Presented by Michele Brown the Book Conservator at Cornell University
since 1995. She received a B.A. in English from Fordham University, and
a Certificate in Hand Bookbinding and Restoration from the Camberwell
School of Art and Crafts in 1977. She is enrolled in the distance
learning MLIS program at the University of Alabama, and is scheduled to
receive that degree in August 2010. She has conducted numerous workshops
around New York State in disaster planning, care and handling, and mold
prevention and remediation. In addition, she teaches bookbinding
classes, conducts collection surveys, and maintains a small private
practice.
These webinars are designed for individuals with little or no experience
in preservation practices and procedures. They will also be very
valuable for those with a little more experience who wish to pick up
some helpful hints.
The webinars are presented as a public service by the Association for
Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) as part the activities
of Preservation Week 2010. Institutions are encouraged to make the
