Basic Salvage Techniques for Paper Collections
This program will cover the role of wet salvage of paper-based collections as part of a larger incident response. After an overview of emergency preparation and response protocols, participants will take on incident response roles and run through a mock-flood scenario. In this hands-on program, participants will work in groups to salvage and triage a variety of collection items from a pool, including papers, photographs, and bound materials. A post-scenario debrief gives participants the opportunity to review their actions with workshop instructors.
Presenters: Liyah Desher, Education & Outreach Specialist, DHPSNY; Kate Jacus, Preservation Specialist, DHPSNY
