The NEH-funded Sustainable Preservation Practices—Series II workshops are over but there is still time to sign up for the webinar series. The webinars are FREE – click on the “Webinar Info” tab for a description of each webinar and then register for as many as you’d like. There are nine webinars, each presented on a Wednesday between January and September 2013 from 2:00 to 3:30 EDT.
The guidebook developed for the Sustainable Preservation Practices—Series II is available for purchase through IPI’s online store. The survey of workshop participants asked if the information in the guidebook would be beneficial to them and at each venue 100% of respondents said yes. Many listed the guidebook as one of the most valuable aspects of the workshop. Responses included:
    • “The Guidebook is very well organized and has a level of detail that is helpful and appropriate, both to supplement this workshop and to stand alone.”
    • “The careful, balanced, analytic work is what we need to transform our data gathering into useful information and action.”
    • “The Guidebook constitutes a guideline for the decisions we have to make to improve our conditions.”
