ALCTS webinar: Accidents Happen: Protecting & Saving Family Treasures
Date: April 26, 2011 All webinars are one hour in length and begin at
2pm Eastern, 1pm Central, noon Mountain, and 11am Pacific Time.
Description: Accidents and disasters happen. When it does are you
prepared? Are your family treasures stored safely in your home or
elsewhere? How do you save your photos when they've been submerged in
flood water? What do you do if your books smell mildewy? What if your
basement floods or worse? Attend this session to learn answers to these
questions and more.
Kraft will provide tips and tools for checking out possible hazards
around the house, dealing with mold and salvaging keepsakes, documenting
damage for insurance purposes, and keeping your family safe.
Learning Outcomes:
- Steps to take in preparing for and responding to a disaster
- Basic understanding of dealing with mold
- Simple techniques for salvaging keepsakes
- Awareness of available disaster assistance
Audience: Anyone interested in learning about disaster preparation and
response. Strategies discussed during the presentation can be applied to
home, library, or business.
Presenter: Nancy E Kraft, Head of Preservation at the University of Iowa
Libraries, is responsible for directing the preservation and
conservation of the library collections at the University of Iowa. In
2009 she received the Midwest Archives Conference Presidents' Award for
her extraordinary work following the historic levels of flooding that
struck Iowa in the summer of 2008. Kraft has assisted in many disaster
recoveries, large and small, including the Iowa Floods of 1993 and 2008,
the University of Iowa Old Capitol fire, the water soaked State
Historical Society of Iowa building, and a mold outbreak in the Law
Library's rare book room. Her passion is assisting the individual to
preserve his/her keepsakes.
