The Documentary Heritage Program (DHP) is a New York Statewide records program designed to locate, organize, and make available the state's historical records that are critical to ensuring the survival of New York's heritage. Established by law in 1988, the DHP is administered by the New York State Archives, State Education Department, and is funded through the Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund. The DHP offers regional services and a statewide comprehensive grants program. DHP archivists offer also free advice and on-site consultations to area non-for-profits and offer workshops and roundtables, from archival basics to advanced technology for archival solutions. In the Hudson Valley, the DHP is administered by Greater Hudson Heritage Network.

Furry Fuzzy Creepy Crawlies- Pest Management at Your Institution
GHHN/DHP Webinar Tuesday, June 24 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM Presented by Donia Conn Mold, insects, and rodents cause considerable damage to museum, library, and archival collections. Unfortunately, infestations are not usually limited to one collection type, but can spread... to textiles, leather, paper, photographs, baskets, furs, and wooden objects. Often, collection storage environments are the culprit, but infestations can also be introduced with new acquisitions or from materials on exhibit. Attendees will learn how to identify a range of common insect and rodent pests; how to identify active and inactive mold; and how to prevent and respond to infestations on a small budget. About the Presenter Donia Conn is an independent consultant for small and mid-sized cultural heritage institutions. She has worked in the fields of conservation and preservation for almost 20 years, specializing in book conservation and preservation training. She teaches and consults on the full spectrum of collections care topics and is an adjunct faculty for the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science teaching Preservation Management and Collection Maintenance. Donia is a Professional Associate of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC). Questions?

The ALA's Preservation Week was created in 2010 because some 630 million items in collecting institutions require immediate attention and care. Eighty percent of these institutions have no paid staff assigned responsibility for collections care; 22 percent have no collections care personnel at all. Some 2.6 billion items are not protected by an emergency plan. As natural disasters of recent years have taught us, these resources are in jeopardy should a disaster strike. Personal, family, and community collections are equally at risk. For more on ALA's Preservation Week, click the logo above. |
