Presented By: Documentary Heritage & Preservation Services for NY (DHPSNY)
Led by DHPSNY Preservation Education Specialist Kate Jacus, this free hands-on workshop helps participants recognize common preservation issues or “red flags” in paper, book, and photographic materials. Participants will learn how to identify signs of physical damage, environmental concerns, and handling risks, and how to determine when action is needed. Through guided examples and discussion, the workshop focuses on practical decision-making and understanding when to rehouse materials, improve storage conditions, or seek conservation treatment. By the end of the session, participants will feel more confident identifying issues and setting informed, manageable next steps for collections care.
Registration will close on Thursday, September 10th.
