Meeting the Preservation Needs of Humanities Collections by Transforming Services
A preservation field service program that
provides assessments, workshops and seminars (in-person and online), technical
consultations, and disaster assistance to libraries, archives, and other
cultural heritage repositories, predominantly in the Northeast.
With a respected history as a
preservation and conservation resource for organizations of all sizes, the
Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) effectively increases the
knowledge and skills of collections care professionals—at all levels—in the
long-term care and stewardship of paper-based and photographic collections,
audiovisual materials, and digital objects. Through workshops, webinars,
in-person conferences, reference services, disaster assistance, print and
online resources, assessments, and consultations, NEDCC helps institutions
better understand and address their preservation challenges so that their vital
humanities collections remain accessible into the future. NEDCC’s basic field
services programs remain the staple of our work and will continue unabated. As
our clients’ needs change, NEDCC expands its expertise and services. With this
grant, we propose to continue to transform our services with both the design of
new services and the improvement of existing ones.
