The Michigan Collections Network will be hosting a Conservation and Collections Care Camp at MSU library on Nov. 20 from 10 to 4.

People with interest and responsibilities in caring for our physical collections are welcome to attend and encouraged to participate and present.

Current presentations include such topics:

treating a county atlas,

building a quick custom, cardboard, clamshell box,

managing conservation without a conservator,

creating and using an DIY humidity chamber to flatten documents

and more…

All participants will be encouraged, but not required, to present something from their own efforts to care for their collections. Presentations from 5 to 45 minutes are welcome. There may be a small cost to help cover lunch. Registration is limited to 40.
