Californians Connecting to Collections Project
2011 Workshops Protecting Cultural Collections:
Disaster Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery The Heritage Health Index determined that most collecting institutions need an emergency or disaster response plan that includes collections, and staff trained to carry it out. Attend the interactive 2-part workshop Protecting Cultural Collections and walk away with: - A complete disaster response and collection salvage plan by the end of Part 2 - The skills needed to train staff to implement your plan effectively - Pre- and post-disaster action priorities for your collections - Understanding of the practical decision-making skills needed during an emergency - Experience salvaging a variety of material including books, documents, photos & objects The two parts are scheduled 4-8 weeks apart. Participants prepare short assignments prior to the first session; between sessions, they undertake additional assignments resulting in a completed disaster plan at the end of Part 2. Upon completion, the institution will be invited to join an informal network of trained personnel to provide mutual aid in the event of emergencies involving collections in the region.

Creating and Funding Preservation Projects
To Enhance Collection Care “Creating and Funding Preservation Projects to Enhance Collection Care” is a one-day workshop that begins with identifying and setting priorities among collection needs. With a clear sense of needs, the second part of the workshop reviews sources of grant funding available to your institution. The third part of the workshop addresses the key preservation questions asked on grant applications – participants answer the questions on behalf of their institutions, building the elements of a proposal for their own collection. The workshop emphasizes working collaboratively with colleagues to develop and receive feedback on project proposals. By the end of the workshop day, participants will have: - Outlined a preservation project proposal specific to their institution - Identified possible funding sources - Tested their ideas with other workshop participants UPCOMING WORKSHOPS San Diego January 19, 2012 San Diego History Center Register Here Los Angeles February 10, 2012 California African American Museum Register Here San Francisco March 16, 2012 Asian Art Museum Register Here Sacramento March 23, 2012 California State Railroad Museum Register Here INSTRUCTOR Barclay Ogden, Director for Preservation, UC Berkeley Libraries.
